While researching the sad news about John Lodge, I came across more news about the passing of another Rock Legend.
Chris Dreja, a founding member of the Yardbirds, whose work on rhythm guitar and bass provided a foundation for the band’s holy trinity of lead guitarists, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. He died on Sept. 25 in a nursing home in London. He was 78. The cause was complications of multiple strokes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, his daughter, Jacqueline Dreja Zamboni, said. After the group broke up, Page offered Dreja the position of bassist in a new band he was forming (later to become Led Zeppelin).[12] Dreja declined in order to pursue a profession in photography and the position was filled by John Paul Jones. He photographed Led Zeppelin for the back cover of their debut album. He worked in a photo studio in New York for a few years and at one point did a shooting session with Andy Warhol. Much of his photography work involved Rock music subjects. RIP

What physical activity or situation makes you the most competitive?
It's supposed to rain non-stop for the next 10 hours. I hope the road doesn't turn into a river as I'm supposed to drive home from Montana tomorrow. 😅
On the bright side, it's not 10 hours of snow and, if you have to be stranded, this isn't a bad place to be! 😉
"It's just senseless gun violence," Simmons said. "What we are experiencing now is just a proliferation of guns just being in circulation."
No, what we are experiencing now is a culture that gives inappropriate positive attention to, and sometimes even endorses, acts of violence. This is NOT a gun issue.
