Thank You, Mickey Finn

Mickey Finn, percussionist (bongo player, really) and back-up singer (those great falsetto harmonies) for T Rex, died in London on Saturday. Though he had been in poor health as of late, no cause of death was announced.

Marc Bolan's and Finn's sound together was a unique and instantly identifiable combination. One of those little signature idiosyncracies, like The 13th Floor Elevators' jug player or The Lovin' Spoonful's autoharp, that gives a band a special twist which sets it apart from the pack. I'll have to watch Ringo's documentary film again in his honor.

Becoming a damn audiophile is about the most un-punk thing a guy could do, I suppose, so why do I pretend? Anyway, I went to my first 9:30 show in '81, grad-e-ated from HS in '82. Nice to find a kindred on the site! Never been to Toddlin' Town, but feel free to email.
