Did not know he was a member. The Big Chill, a film I like a lot, brought Whiter Shade back in vogue in 1983

Procol Harum was sublime. Every single lyric was a poem that could stand on its own. Holy moly! 1967. It doesn’t seem that long ago.

Been too long since I listened. I always lusted after the huge amp cabinets he used. I mean I never had a use for such things but that hardly matters for wants.

Bridge of Sighs — one of my favorite albums ever.
Fun to learn that he’s a fellow Pisces! ♓️

In other words, he contributed nothing to the war effort. Just lay there sitting himself.

I've seen Robin Trower play live several times and will keep on going to see him as long as he straps on the Strat. Even if you are not familiar with him, if he comes to a town near you I strongly recommend seeing him while you can.

One of the very best!🎸
