It stinks that all the good ones from this era are starting to leave us but that is life I suppose. Musician Gary Wright dead at 80 | ||

I've lost count of them this year; Gary, Jimmy, Tina, Raquel, several more. Posted a Ronettes video yesterday on another thread, started me thinking about Ronnie. Only two IIRC were of a ripe old age. 78-80-82, that's not all that old.  | |||

Bummer, another great musician gone. I saw him three times back in the 70s. "But, as luck would have it, he stood up. He caught that chunk of lead." Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock | |||

It sounds like he was one of those musicians much like Daniel Lanois who never really had a lot of big hits themselves but played on and with many other bands that were really big. I read that Gary Wright played all keyboard for George Harrison's All Things Must Pass album. | |||

| His diet consists of black coffee, and sarcasm.  |
According to his Wikipedia entry, he had quite a large body of work. As someone who can't even think up the first word of a song, let alone play it on anything, I am very impressed, and a little envious. Have you ever thought of a song and had it get stuck in your head? This has from time to time. | |||

Love is Alive is a fun song to play on the drums. Just played it two days ago. RIP Because son, it is what you are supposed to do. | |||

RIP but oh how I hate Dreamweaver. Luckily he was much more than that over-played song. | |||

^^^ Love is Alive is a great song! Dreamweaver, lost it being way over-played. Rest in peace, Gary Wright. SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member! Click the box>>>  | |||

I was commissioned in the fall of '75 and this song (and the album) were my constant companion in my stateroom aboard ship. Loved the Dreamweaver song! Dream Weaver Lyrics [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] I've just closed my eyes again Climbed aboard the Dream Weaver train Driver, take away my worries of today And leave tomorrow behind [Chorus] Ooh, Dream Weaver I believe you can get me through the night Ooh, Dream Weaver I believe we can reach the morning light [Verse 2] Fly me high through the starry skies Or maybe to an astral plane Cross the highways of fantasy Help me to forget today's pain [Chorus] Ooh, Dream Weaver I believe you can get me through the night Ooh, Dream Weaver I believe we can reach the morning light [Verse 3] Though the dawn may be coming soon There still may be some time Fly me away to the bright side of the moon And meet me on the other side [Chorus] Ooh, Dream Weaver I believe you can get me through the night Ooh, Dream Weaver I believe we can reach the morning light [Outro] Dream Weaver Dream Weaver [Instrumental Outro] Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club!
