    Sad news indeed.
  • I got into Deep Purple when I first heard In Rock at a friend's place when it first came out (which I would say makes me older than most on this site).

    It was odd reading this news tonight as I was driving home from work today with my music on random and cranked up and Demon's Eye came on. For some reason I noticed today how much keyboard was on that song, something I'd never taken much notice of before.

    Great music and great memories. Thanks Jon.
    Now I'm livin' out here on the beach,
    but those seagulls are still out of reach.
