Sad news indeed. The Leslie cabs will be spinning in heaven tonight.
RIP Jon. I guess a waterside cremation would be appropriate... |

| As a former member of a Purple tribute I'm devastated. I'm (obviously) not a keys player but I was a fan. |

71 I believe David, however a true Rock legend was Jon. RIP his stint with the OUEENSLAND Symphony was brilliant back a few years.
Oh I loved his Hammond playing. RIP. |
