I believe he was the last surviving member. The rest had previously passed on. Hope they are having a great jam session...

Love the band, got to see them in Burnaby park in the early 90's. : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyFRNr2IgxY
Last time I saw them was about twenty years ago at Prospera, and they looked a bit comical back then, trying to jump around on stage, using body parts that were clearly unwilling. :biggrin:
I get the majority of my exercise coming here and shaking my head in disbelief!

Wow, I had all but forgotten about Mr Twang. Enjoyed his music, distinctive and recognizably his.

RIP
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

One of the greatest of the early guitar players.
I'm posting this from Traditional lands of the British Empire & the current Lands of The Dominion of Canada.

I also give thanks for this ethos richness bestowed on us via British Colonialism.

ASSIMILATION, not reconciliation.

Trump is a fraud but he has finally admitted that there is famine in Gaza and it's okay to agree with him, unless you have different statistics than the State Department.

If there was no cause of death mentioned, it is very likely drugs or suicide. I was told this by the local coroner many years ago.
Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death.

Huge loss for Canadian journalism, and everyone who values commons sense over ideology. One of the greatest columnists ever. Always enjoyed reading his pieces.

The last of the free thinkers/speakers. Always brought humour to the table when discussing the faux pas of politicians and their foolishness.

RIP Rex.

You are missed.
