I just now learned of the passing away of Jon Lord, keyboardist/organist, composer, and founding member of Deep Purple, following his battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 71 years old.

Deep Purple was one of the bands I grew up on, thanks to my mother, so I'd like to pay my respects here for a little bit. We've lost a rock pioneer.

Hush, Sweet Child in Time, Smoke on The Water, Highway Star and many others; songs I'll never forget, songs I performed on stage myself in my time. Rest in Peace my friend, I'll remember you.

RIP, Jon! He's one if the reasons I own a Korg SV-1 keyboard.
