Then there is Jeff Pocaro, drummer for Toto. He was one of the best and most recorded session drummers ever, died at age 38 in 1992. He was gardening and had a reaction to something he was using in the garden.

We just saw them on October 4 in Pittsburgh. They did a very nice tribute to Mr. Watts before they came on stage. We've seen them three previous times over the decades in Indianapolis. Alway, always, always a great show.
They've done pretty well, considering they're just a blues cover band.We just saw them on October 4 in Pittsburgh. They did a very nice tribute to Mr. Watts before they came on stage. We've seen them three previous times over the decades in Indianapolis. Alway, always, always a great show.

You are right. I have seen them several times and always amazed at effort and talent they into their shows. They are very active. I guess they have been at it over fifty years now.We just saw them on October 4 in Pittsburgh. They did a very nice tribute to Mr. Watts before they came on stage.

They did a 12 minute version of Midnight Rambler. Crowd went nuts.
And then there is Farrakh Bulsara from Tanzania. Freddie Mercury. He was one of the best male singers in history. Put him with Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon, and you have Queen. Talent on all ends of the spectrum.
I remember when they were finally permitted to go China. in the news conference, Jaggar was asked what he was going to do because the government would not let them play some of their songs. He said "Oh, With over 400 hits, I think we can find something to play.
Then there was the RIO concert. It was on the beach and in the interview with Keith Richards just before the concert, he said "I don't think anybody down here will come. Maybe, if we are lucky, a 100,000 people maybe. When the went on stage, there were 1.5 million in the audience.
