LEE DORMAN, 70
Bassist with the psychedelic rock band Iron Butterfly. Died Dec. 21st. Their second album was massive and with that long, long song "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" and that long drum solo. Almost made me take up the drums.
FANTELLA BASS, 72
Grew up and lived in St. Louis. Had some minor hits "Don't Mess Up a Good Thing" and "You'll Miss me (When I'm Gone)." Died Dec. 26th.
But the real big hit was "Rescue Me" one of my favorites. It went to #1 R&B and #4 on the pop charts. Drummer on the song as Maurice White who went on to game in Earth, Wind & Fire. Minnie Ripperton was one of the backup singers.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
