ALVIN LEE R.I.P. 1944-2013

On March 6th 2013 there was posted the following on Alvin Lee website

With great sadness, we have to announce that Alvin unexpectedly passed away early this morning after unforeseen complications following a routine surgical procedure.

We have lost a wonderful, much loved father and companion. The world has lost a truly great and gifted musician.

I was lucky enough to see Ten Years After twice over the years and mostly really early on at festivals around the UK. I'm Going Home became a talisman and lynchpin track we couldn't shake and I well remember coming round in the mud to hear 'Good Morning Little Schoolgirl'!!! Man that guy was FAST!

The news page at AlvinLee.com has a lovely piece that says it all. Alvin Lee.com NEWS

Big O of course has this little gem Ten Years After L.A. 1970

Rest In Peace Alvin
