Courtesy of the BBC News website, Jon Lord, the former keyboard player with rock band Deep Purple, has died aged 71. I have a feeling that I'll be giving Space Truckin' a 'blasting' tonight! Don't take life too seriously, as you'll never come out of it alive! |

I bought the vinyl album Made in Japan many years ago. Deep Purple are still one of my all time favorite bands. Another great musician gone to that great gig in the sky. R.I.P. Jon |
