I'm a bit grumpy about that.

Smoke On The Water has been my mobile phone ring tone for many, many years, and my 10 year old daughter loves the song. RIP
Re: RIP Jon Lord
I think smoke on the water (or at least the intro) is the first thing anybody learns to play on the Guitar. He is a legend and will be missed by millions!

Re: RIP Jon Lord
I confess that whilst I had heard of Deep Purple, I wasn't familiar with the members of it. It does make you realise how time passes, when you see people like this, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney in the their seventies 
Whilst getting older beats the alternative, it is still sad to see this happening and sometimes I wonder where the last twenty years have gone. Then I remember my late grandfather telling me that ninety years didn't seem long when he looked back on it
In 1984, just before I bought the Midget, I went to Silverstone for the first time (In my old Mini). It was to an MG Car Club event and I saw and photographed (Polaroid - does anyone use film anymore?) and nice MG TC. It seemed like an old car at the time, yet my Midget is now not far off as old as the TC was, the V8 is practically as old and the Morris is older.

Re: RIP Jon Lord
I was lucky enough to have seen him perform live both with the mighty 'Snake and in one of the Deep Purple re-incarnations in the late 80's prior to Blackmore walking out.
Sadly the greatest blues guitarist ever, IMHO, Gary Moore also died a few months back - not a great year so far then!!

Re: RIP Jon Lord
Richie Blackmore worked with Joe Meek and Heinz Burt.....so he is officially ancient!Age does get to them- one of my favourite old axemen, Leslie West, lost a leg to diabetes last year, and the totally awesome and unique Dick Dale is now 75 and having fought off rectal cancer is playing harder and faster than anyone else.
It's amazing how musical time passes- I suppose it's because music can fix you in time: for the record Ian Dury has been dead 12 years, and Kurt Cobain and Lee Brilleaux have both been dead 18 years! Makes me feel old...............

"New Boots and Panties" What an album!
Blackmoors walked out of Deep Purple? Surely not!

I always thought the other Irish blues guitarist Rory Gallagher was better than Moore,richardtaylor wrote:

IMHO of course
,but it's a mute point seeing as they have both passed on
,but what a musical legacy they have left behind
.If there is an afterlife,you can bet the place is rockin'.
Re: RIP Jon Lord
