    Gone 40 years already??  My, how time flies.

    I never did like Chicago much.  Actually, I found most of their music to be well performed but rather irritating.  I don't say that the disparage the band.  They were excellent- a very tight band- just not my thing.  That said, I thought Kath was one hell of a fine player and always kind of wish he had been in a band I liked. 
    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    ^^ Or maybe what direction he would have taken the band had he been around longer?

    first 2 albums killed it.

    urban legend has it that Hendrix was at a show and said, “I’m not a guitarist, he is.”

    Pretty cool story. ^ I read an article about the encounter and Hendrix asked the band to join him on tour after that.

    Some of my favorite songs are on those first two albums. :plus_one:
