I loved the live clip Ruby. It just drew me in. Fascinating stuff. RIP David. People are going to remember you for sure.

^Yes it's a marvelous clip. And a crying shame.
They've been working on an album which was set to be released in January 2022. They'll probably still release it but it will be so tough for everyone.

Gary Scruggs who is the son of legendary Earl Scruggs is another recent departure. He was 72 and I believe December 1st was his final day. As of this time, the cause of death has not been shared.
God bless you and his family always!!!

Sorry to learn that John Miles has died. I was introduced to his music a very long time ago and it left a lasting impression - I still occasionally listen to his earlier albums. He also sang on a couple of APP albums and was seemingly still in fine voice up to quite recently. He passed away yesterday at the age of 72, after a short illness. Another of the truly talented ones gone. Damn.
From his Rebel album - great album altogether - still know all the songs and order of play - must've listened a LOT! - "You Have it All" ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBbg5wn4bC0
From Stranger in the City - "Remember Yesterday" ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLL9IuOba8s
From APP's Tales of Mystery and Imagination ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMsqOV7ZmeA
From APP's Pyramid - "Shadow of a Lonely Man" ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=895Y11nLIpc
Yet another APP - Gaudi - "La Sagrada Familia" ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPrRQrv3yDc
and of course, his best known song, also from Rebel ... R.I.P. John Miles ...

RIP John Miles. A musician's musician. Very talented guy. I know some of his albums and obviously his work with APP as well. He will be missed for sure.

okay,
pop's first manufactured group,
were meant to be some sort of answer to Beatles (why or how, i will never know!)
had some decent singles and a kooky TV series which was okay..
the dude had a half decent country/pop crossover career and toured until the whole Covid thingy...
his biggest claim to fame IMO, was writing "different drum" for Stone Poneys.
his most recognisable solo hit as a tribute:
