Arthur Lee - Love/ My Condolences
My condolences to Arthur Lee's family, and my thanks to Arthur for all his music. My most vivid memory as a teenager was rehearsing "My Little Red Book" for the local community centre gig and the Friday night gigs (pre-Sabbath) and later (with Sabbath) in Frisco at Fillmore West or Winterland (I'm not sure which venue.) I was honoured to be a part of helping Love's drummer (at that time, 1970) fix his snare drum, being high as we were in those days, it was a challenging project. Becoming successful, Love continued to play on. Fond memories.
Arthur Lee - certainly original; influential - yes; different - yes; and so soulful. Thank you again, Arthur. You are remembered fondly, and your music will live in my heart forever.
Bill Ward
