That is sad news. I love Spirit as well. I thought I had read that they were planning a reunion tour. Never heard any more about it. But I suppose it is off the table now. My sympathy's to his family.
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.
