I believe that is correct, and even after the other group members were added he continued to play lead, rhythm, acoustic, and bass guitars, keyboards, and (I think) some percussion too depending on the song. I saw them at The Woodlands toward the end of Delp's time and Scholz was all over the stage that night playing different instruments as they worked through their set list.

Just thought of another

Jeff Healey

He was 41 when cancer took him. Always loved his style and sound and I just saw Road House again last night or part of it anyway so I thought of him.

Duane Allman
Only 24. Unbelievable guitar work on Fillmore East album. Played for Aretha Franklin, Eric Clapton, Boz Scaggs and others. No telling how he would have evolved - rock, jazz, blues you name it.

Bonham for me. My musical tastes were just forming and Zepp was a big part of that. I would most certainly have attended a concert on that planned I.T.t.O.D. tour. Does anyone else remember KLOL just dropping the needle on side one that summer when the album was released? Short commercial break and the same for side 2. Formative memory for me, as me and my bud were riding to Galveston with his older, driving-licensed brother to 'surf' last time before Summer ended.

Ian Curtis from Joy Division. They lived on with New Order but their sound completely changed. Preferred JD to NO but loved them both.

Whenever SRV gets mentioned, I immediately feel like one of the guys in this story.

Two not on the list,

Dennis Wilson (although he was in pretty bad shape before drowning)
Bobby Fuller (probably murdered)

Both could have produced a lot more good music.

Buddy Holley.

He changed music for all who succeeded him. Plus he was so very young.

Three years ago we went to Lubbock for a wedding. Got there early evening and didn't have anything to do so we went and found Buddy Holley's grave.

Mac Davis is buried about 50 yards away from Buddy.

We do crazy stuff like that.

I think two that really bothered me were 2Pac and Layne Staley. Would love to have seen how Staley would have progressed in his art.
