I’d like to pay tribute to Irish guitarist Johnny Fean, who passed away last Friday at the age of 71. He played guitar in the Celtic rock band Horslips. They had their career in the 1970’s and into the 1980’s, and although they had limited commercial sucsess back then, they are today regarded as one of the defining bands of the Celtic rock genre. I’d like to pay tribute to Johnny Fean with a song from 1974. I remember recording it from the radio back in the day, on a casette I kept for years. Here’s the song Blindman by Horslips. Thank you for the music Johnny. may you be remembered.

Let us celebrate the memory of McKinley Morganfield, better known as Muddy Waters, who passed away 40 years ago today, at the age of 70. He is one of the greats, a giant in blues history, and a major inspiration on many rock acts, among others The Rolling Stones (who got their band name after one of his songs), Eric Clapton and Angus Young of AC/DC. In Muddy Waters’ memory, here is I Got My Mojo Working.

Let us celebrate the memory of American drummer Ed Cassidy, who would have turned 100 today, if he hadn’t passed away in 2012 at the age of 89. He was the co-founder of the band Spirit, who had some sucsess in the late 1960’s and early 70’s, with a few albums and a couple of singles. Spirit are to me one of the more underappreciated bands in rock history, with several great songs. In Ed Cassidy’s memory, here is their best known song - I Got A Line On You by Spirit.

Let us celebrate the memory of English singer Ian Dury, who would have turned 81 today, if he hadn’t passed away in 2000, at the age of 57. He is one of the true greats from the pub rock and new wave scene in the UK in the latter part of the 1970’s. Ian Dury started his musical career in Kilburn & The High-Roads, before going solo, with or without The Blockheads. To celebrate Ian Dury’s memory, here is his solo debut Sex & D__gs & Rock & Roll.
