It's really sad....two of the rock greats passing on within the last few months.......Jon Lord of Deep Purple and Alvin Lee of Ten Years After.

I've been hooked on Alvin ever since I saw that performance he did of I'm Goin' Home at Woodstock (and then "At The Woodchopper's Ball" on his Undead album).

And there was Jon Lord's organ solo and Richie Blackmore doing that great guitar solo on Deep Purple's Highway Star.

I'm wondering if all the folks of that generation knew of the sheer talent they were experiencing at the time?
