Another reason to hate 2020.

I know he’s never been healthy and he’s had serious issues over that last decade, but still......

Bummer.
Man, the Twin Peaks album is burnt into memory. Which is quite amazing considering how many brain cells I fried listening to it back in the 70's!
I only saw Mountain live once. I think I still have a ticket stub from the show somewhere.

Yep! He would even take the neck pickup out and use the cavity as an ashtray......

RIP Leslie, loved his work back in the day and have pretty much his entire catalogue.

Mississippi Queen was one of his that we covered that was massively popular with the punters

Not paid much attention to this one. Does have a 'Spinal Tap' kind of quality to it so 'influential'.

cheers, Mark.
