Ed Cassidy of Spirit is dead


Spirit is still one of my favorite bands from the 60s. Ed was from the older generation. He was born in 1923 but fit right in with the hippies, even with his bald head, which was a very unusual style at the time.

Ed was an accomplished jazz drummer before getting into rock with his son-in-law Randy California. He made a lot of great music and will be missed.

I saw them perform at a small venue in the early 70's, right after their "Feedback" release. Was one of my favorite performances.

May he rest in peace.
