Then there was Syd Barrett - the guy who had a bike and was in Pink Floyd.

Another late but great.

He went down with someone called the big bopper!!!!! The mind boggles

I remember sneaking a Buddy Holly "record" in to school and the (classically trained) music teacher enthused over the "syncopated percusion".

Anybody else remember Don McLean singing about Buddy's plane crash ? The Day The Music Died !

Didn't Robert Palmer die during a midweek holiday in Paris? I always found that rather comforting, rock superstar goes on mini-break to France. There's hope for us all.

Sure do John, Takes me waaaay back. Just had to dig it out and play it again -!! We used to take sheet music of the latest "hits" to school for the music teacher to play on the school piano. Lost a bit in the translation though
