Alvin Lee

March 6th was a tough day.  The world also lost Alvin Lee, guitarist, leader and singer of Ten Years After.  This band is one of those bands that etched a big place in the soundtrack of my life, this song in particular. “I’d Love To Change The World“.  It has a short interview at the beginning and gets cut off at the end, Oh well.

 

 

The band hit its stride at Woodstock, and contributed to the idealism of the 60’s and early 70’s.  Terrific player, great band, he will be missed, Alvin Lee, dead at 69.

    He was oneof the GREASTEST to play. Everybody talks about Hendricks and the Who. As far as I’m concerned he was up there with them.RIP

        My mom died a few months ago. Nothing in my life has ever made me feel as old as that did. Everyone else’s passing is just another reminder. But I’ll go along with “lol”, because I do want to laugh amap while I’m here.
        Have fun John, which you sure seem to be doing! – Resa
