Title: Will it Go Round in a Circle; RIP Billy Preston
Post by: pmcd9 on June 06, 2006, 09:19:11 pm
Beatles Collaborator Billy Preston Dead at 59 (http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/32999937).

I heard he was sick a few years ago, but then he kept turning up in new various projects so I assumed he had recovered.  Apparently not.  That's the Way God Planned it I guess.

That's a shame.  Didn't he play on Get Back?

Yes he did.  I know this because I just heard the story on NPR.  And now I have "Nothing from Nothing" stuck in my head.

59?  Dang.

RIP, BP.  I'm kicking some of your tunes in your honour, holmes.

Me too! I was just whistling it in the kitchen.
