It's sad to think that so many of our Rock & Roll heroes are gettin' to "that age"...
:(

Then again, so are a lot of us...

R.I.P. Keith, thanks for so much great music...
:cry:
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

I don't think it's an "age" thing this time, CJ - sadly it appears that he took his own life.... :(

Depression over age-related failures of the flesh. Makes his departure even more sad....before i became really interested in bass,i was a complete keyboard geek,and the Nice were the band that was doing great things with rocked up versions of classical music,as well as jazzy excursions on pop covers. I didn't know who the keyboard player was until i bought my first Nice record.(which was their last,Elegy). Keith's always lauded for his hammond playing and being a Moog pioneer,but it was his wonderfully unique and expressive piano work that absolutely floored me every time i heard it. His passing hit me as hard as did Chris',both were giants of their craft.
