Many of us grew up and enjoyed the music of the '60's, 70's, and 80's. Unfortunately, like the rest of us, many of those artists are reaching senior citizenship status. Yesterday, we lost a great singer, Christine McVie from the equally great group, Fleetwood Mac. A few short weeks ago we lost a few other greats from that period, Olivia Newton John and Jerry Lee Lewis. And some time back we lost Glenn Frey of the Eagles. As these folks grow old with us, the question is who will be next? Jagger, Bonnie Rait, Jackson Browne, Seger, James Taylor, Baez, Dylan.....??
Don't think of it that way! Think we will rejoin them...

We probably can't know who will be next, but it will probably not be either of these two!!!

yep, I'm a fan of Willie. IMO, It will be a loss when it happens!
good old George....never have I seen hair like George's! Glen Campbell maybe came close! And he, along with George, were both great losses to the music industry!
I usually mess up when posting links but Jerry Lee asks the same question: “Who’s Gonna Play That Old Piano After My Last Bow?” It’s on YouTube.

very few singers today will be able to play the piano like he did!
It’s a sad day when we lose any of the old performers. The 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s music was the best.

I dread the day that happens to Eric Clapton, Steve Gadd (Drummer), or Nathan East (Base Gitarist ). Eric Clapton had these two with him at many concerts.

yes, I agree, and those three decades were the absolute best, IMO! (obviously, yours too)

This got me to thinking about some of the usual's who performed with Clapton. This was seven years ago at The Royal Albert Hall concert. They all look like they are up there. Steve Gadd's hair is as white as mine. That stupid ad can be canceled in 5 seconds.
