Dec 2016

This year has been absolutely a fuckin disaster, as a musician I will never forget the year 2016... we have lost the backbone of rock music..... artists that were pioneers, Forget the political aspect of 2016. Politics change and politicians come and go, but the music is the constant soundtrack of our lives....... RIP Greg,,, may you find eternal rest in the court of the crimson king......
