I always wondered how I would feel when someone in the music industry passed on and now I know. Charlie Watts has gone and I wonder what will become of the 'Stones now, will they carry on or finally decide that this is the end. They have formed the soundtrack to my life ever since I first heard them. I was at Dartford College and have stood on the exact railway platform at Dartford whilst waiting for the train to go to Chelsea where Mick and Keith met. I have met Bill Wyman and Ronnie Wood, I have been to Edith Grove and Eel Pie Island and seen the group many times, the most memorable being the Hyde Park concert for Brain Jones and, thank goodness, the last British concert at Twickenham. I'm sure I will never see the like of them again in my life time.

As Reg has said, the passing of the best Jazz drummer to play in a blues/rock band is a sober reminder that, like us, the icons of our youth are drifting away.
The Stones may carry on without him, but his Widow and Daughter have to deal with his loss. At least he left them well provided for, his obituary in the paper today suggested he was worth about £60m.

Thanks Bill for the memories, wherever you are!

With his wife, he owned an Arabian Horse Stud in mid Devon.
Apparently, it is really well regarded, according to my horsey friends.
Really sad loss, but what a legacy.
RIP Sir

I very rarely get upset about people dying that I don’t personally know....to the extent that I say R.I.P. But having been a big follower of the Rolling Stones since I first discovered music early in my teens and a fan of Charlie Watts great drumming and him being the quiet man sitting at the back....I really feel upset. So R.I.P Mr Watts.

Nanci singing a John Prine song there, who we also lost earlier this year to Covid. Sad times.

I wasn't a Strolling Bones fan but it's sad to hear of another old rock star passing away.

It does sort of focus the mind doesn't it. We are all possibly guilty of wasting a bit of time over something unnecessary when we should be out there having fun in the nicest possible way where ever possible after all we were the generation that were going to change the world.
