Like everyone, I’ve had many favorites through the years, always feeling, at the moment, they were irreplaceable forever – then life goes on and others move in to that top spot. But an exception is the loss of Dave Dee.

I prefer to keep this a bit of a fantasy flashback, about all the great things music brought into our childhoods, teenage years and lives in general, timeless in a way. I have totally avoided the passing of musicians on the blog. Yes – that’s my opinion about him and his band Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich.
