RIP Gary Wright

Rest in Peace Gary

Saw him with Al Stewart about 10 years ago.

A great player.

Somewhere in a dark recess in my well worn brain, I remember being at an all afternoon / evening outdoor concert in Miami featuring the Dreamweaver and Peter Frampton coming alive. A Google search for "Dreamweaver Frampton Miami" tells me that my brain wasn't so stupid after all, and that foggy memory was from 47 years and two days ago! I vaguely remember dragging my old Pentax along so I likely have some pictures......somewhere in a box....maybe.

I also remember seeing Yes perform Tales from Topographic Oceans at the same old baseball stadium in roughly the same time period. Pink Floyd brought the levitating pig a bit later I think.

He was such a talented musician, he played with Spooky Tooth in the later 60's with pretty good success before coming back to the states. Sad to hear he had Lewy body dementia, a terrible disease.
