"Dear Cath, 

Hi thank you for the Vol 4 lyrics. Funny thing how you can hear a song(s) and not know the lyrics until 26 year's later. without the lyrics by you I would have never known what the hell Ozzy was saying. :) It gives the music more depth, don't you think? It's amazing that my letters are going for 70 bucks or more on Ebay. Maybe it's a good idea that I write everyone, that way the demand for my letters will dwindle. And with the info you provide I have a sense on who's selling em but can't pinpoint it due to my bad memory. Give me your feedback on all this. Got your Dec 5 letter. Glad you liked my last letter to you. <3 I'm holding you to you thought of wanting to pose nude for me :) I like the cartoon of the chick in black attire you put down on your paper along with the captions. She capture a bit of your personality I think. :) Some guy I know ( or rather writes) works at hot topics. He sends me stickers, actually they're just cards with sayings on em. Actually I met Judas Priest in 1978. They went to a club often a concert in El Paso. That's when I knew Halford was gay. ha He has a home in Phoenix I believe. You ever heard of a band named Budgie or Savoy Brown? It started my adventurous life at 9 years old. And like you...if I could go back in time I'd want to carry what I know now with me. Thank you for the Mad Love lyrics as well. <3 Oh - yes I remember your pets now, Cartmon and the rest. :) Ill end here babe. Love your bunches and wunches. Forever yours 

Richard"

"Black and White Blues" (1971), un documental muy interesante que enlaza los orígenes del blues con el blues rock blanco de finales de los sesenta. La diferencia entre ambos parece casi abismal, pero en la película nos explican que hay aspectos que se mantienen, quedan, permanecen.

Tocan o hablan, o las dos cosas, Fleetwood Mac, Jeremy Spencer, Chicken Shack, Savoy Brown, The Who, Pete Townshend, Champion Jack Dupree, Muddy Waters, B. B. King, Marshall Hooks & Co, Alexis Korner, John Mayall, Paul Oliver, Mike Vernon... Sale hasta el "suedehead" (es broma) Duster Bennett.

Savoy Brown - Boogie Brothers. 28/04/1974

It’s Kim Simmonds farewell. I’ve just learned he’s gone 🥺

I saw Savoy Brown live about 10 years ago, Kim was the only original member left. The show was very energetic and enjoyable. It was a small pub and Kim went out after the concert to sign some records and chat with fans. That’s how I’ll remember him - as a great musician and a great, amiable guy 😥

Spinning some Savoy Brown classics tonight.

Savoy Brown’s Kim Simmonds Dies at 75

- “One of Kim’s last requests was to thank the fans of Savoy Brown,” management says

Kim Simmonds, the founder, guitarist and only permanent member of Savoy Brown, died Dec. 13.

His management announced Simmonds’ death Dec. 15 without giving a cause; the 75-year-old guitarist had recently been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer.

“May he rest in peace,” the statement read. “One of Kim’s last requests was to thank the fans of Savoy Brown. Your support was, and shall always be, immensely appreciated.”

Savoy Brown released its first single in 1965 and went on to release 41 albums, most recently 2020’s Ain’t Done Yet.

Former Savoy drummer Keith Boyce remembered Simmonds as “a great player” with whom he had reunited on stage just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

“I had many a laugh on the road with him back in the ’80s touring the States,” Boyce said.

The guitarist was “certainly one of the best,” said the Sweetwater Band, who frequently opened for Savoy Brown.

“He was always so humble and genuinely interested in what we were up to,” the group said.

“Rest easy, Kim, and thanks for so many great years of stellar guitar playing and songwriting.”

Much like John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Savoy Brown was something of a blues-rock farm team. Its former members include singer Dave Walker of Fleetwood Mac and Black Sabbath; Yes and King Crimson drummer Bill Bruford; UFO’s Paul Raymond; former Vanilla Fudge bassist Tim Bogert; and the founding members of Foghat.

“We will miss you, Kim,” Foghat wrote on Facebook. “Rest now.”
