Thanks to a great friend, I have recently discovered their stuff. I have a two-record set by them, that strangely has their first and third records. I can't yet say I am a big fan, but do occasionally enjoy this record. It's pretty deep stuff, very unique. Not sure if I have my head wrapped fully around it yet. As for Ed Cassidy, thanks and RIP.
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.
