I  had no idea of this when i posted the above  vid of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac.

But I had a sort of premonition - I was thinking of writing something about the highly talented, and a great complement to the outstanding Peter green, Danny Kirwan's sad end a couple of years ago, as a homeless alcoholic, who suddenly dropped out of  the band after  few, highly successful years, and  I knew that Peter had had his troubles, and dropped out  when he was at his peak, one of  our best, if not the best, blues  guitarists ever, but was wondering how he was doing now.

So I was shocked to suddenly see the news of Peter's death. You only have to listen to him to appreciate just how great he was.

I meant to post this on the  Friday music thread.

Very sad, so talented yet so troubled. Albatross remains a memory of my youth..

Brilliant musician and in his later years effected a recovery of sorts, sufficient to create a couple of very good albums.  What a talent he would have been but for his troubles.

Love their music. Sad day
