ironbut Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 RIP Col. Bruce Hampton. In my early days I used to drop by the Twelfth Gate coffee house and groove on the antics of The Hampton Grease Band. I still have their double lp "Music to Eat". https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/02/arts/music/bruce-hampton-70-jam-scene-patriarch-dies-after-collapsing-on-stage.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pars Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Yep, RIP. Great in a lot of roles. Tombstone was another one. I also recall some movie where he was a B52 pilot in a nuclear war, didn't drop his bombs and just flying around waiting for fuel to run out at the end (world destroyed).
