Another musician has died

My favorite thing he did was the cover of Rosalie Sorrel's "Baby Tree" with Jerry Garcia on banjo.  I hope to give "Blows Against the Empire" a spin later today--first time in decades, I'm sure.

Definitely true about Surrealistic Pillow--still high on my list.  I did listen to "Blows" a few hours ago and remembered why I only have listened to one song from that LP in the years since it came out.  But he did make an important contribution to that band and to a lot of people's musical consciousness.

AP reports today that original Airplane member Signe Anderson (who preceded Grace Slick) passed away, also 74, on the same day as Paul Kantner.  She left the band when she realized that raising her child on the road was not going to work.  She's on the first LP, Jefferson Airplane Takes Off.
