Billy Preston R.i.p.
 

noticed earlier in the week the great man croaked - kidney failure, surprised no-one commented? maybe only me thought so? R.I.P. worked with both stones and beatles in his day as well as his solo career,the guy could certainly play the keyboards.

No, I didn't, Al, so thanks for letting us know, Mr C. A sad loss. What was that brilliant instrumental record of his they used to play up Accy Disco? I can hear it now, but I've totally forgotten the name.

It's all come back to me now. It was called "Billy's Bag" - I remember Big Mick Ward, Accy Corporation bus driver and part-time DJ giving it a spin to a packed floor. "Outta Space" came later in the early 70's - another cracking track.
