Default John Mayall Resting In Peace today

I really enjoy John Mayall’s early albums. Still spin em while working.

And here's Eric Clapton providing tribute to John Mayall today. Aged to 90.

Darn, was just watching him on YouTube 2 days ago.

What a loss, but will be in my playlist as long as I can hear.

Mayal's music was always in with good taste.
You got to figure he was most comfortable with a microphone and guitar in front of a croud.

Frontman ability to lead and letgo so others play lead is a talent and skill that seems lacking these decades.

I was lucky to see him perform live twice, the 1st time my brother was a stage hand and was able to get me 2 back stage passes, we were able to stand on the side of the stage right by the big speakers and after the show we walked with him to his limo and he gave us some 8x11 photos and autographed my girlfriends denim jacket.
