Tommy Bolin

What a shame that TOMMY BOLIN had to die so young. From his work with "ZEPHYR," "BILLY COBHAM," and "DEEP PURPLE" to his solo albums, there was a consistency in quality in a vast spectrum of styles. What would he be doing now if he had lived?

Born: Sioux City, Iowa August 1, 1951 - December 4, 1976

POSTSCRIPT "We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dream. Wandering by lone sea breakers, and sitting by desolate streams. World losers and world forsakers, for whom the pale moon gleams. Yet we are movers and the shakers of the world forever it seems." ARTHUR O'SHAUNESSEY
