David Bowie Has Died

[dak4n6]

How sad. He was one of those fearless artists. Truly stretching the boundaries always, but unlike a lot of other fringe experimenters, he brought unforgettable melodies to the table. On this night, there IS a Star Man waiting in the sky, and he is watching...

Ah yes... So, I assume the Epi was all white, right. And, you may remember this little known classic solo effort that Bowie helped him produce....

 

 

 

Yeah, I liked Ronson's solo work, too - I remember that track. The romantic in me would like to hope that Ronno and Bowie are somewhere playing music together, again.

btw, I think Ronno's LP Custom was an ebony finish - from memory it was a 1968, the year Gibson reintroduced it, (I once had a guitar teacher with one from that year). There was that great fad, it seems, in the late '60s and early '70s for stripping guitar tops (as per Lennon's Epiphone Casino). If I ever buy a Gibson LP Custom I couldn't bring myself to do that to it! But, like I said, a used Epi LP Custom will make for a fun, Ronson project - maybe next winter!

I haven't listened to him much, but I appreciate what he's done and I know he's been influential to a lot of music that I like (rock, prog rock). Everyone dies at some point, but it's sad when it's because of cancer.

Truly one of the greatest artists there was.

When I saw Bowie in concert back in 1972, Ronson ended the concert by launching his white LP across the stage. It slid across the stage and slammed into a stack of amplifiers. All I can remember was cringing. But, that was a time when Pete Townsend was regularly destroying SGs.... But not to digress from the topic... Bowie was absolutely fabulous in that concert. A memorable event that I will not forget. He will missed. Thanks for all the great music, David.

I posted a lot of collaboration vids in another thread. Here are his collaborations in a graphic. And it's missing some.
