    RIP to a legend.

     In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

    I heard that news last night at the gig. What else could we do but launch into an extended version of Green Onions?


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.
