Jim Gordon has Passed On...


He was never released from custody after murdering his mother. He'll be remembered best for being the drummer with Derek and the Dominos, but he played with the Byrds, Beach Boys and others. I know that you're wearing black today @bdp24. Sad ending.

Well, I guess you know that Mitch Mitchell was my boy, but I'll give you that Jim had chops, and I always enjoy his playing on The Notorious Byrd Brothers disc, which is one of my faves.

I always thought that the piano part added at the end of Layla sounded very unrelated to the rest of the song.

I'd still categorize him as very good, but not great...that's a strong word; but we all have different tastes.
