I really liked his vocals with both Auger and Santana. He brought a lot of passion to their music. RIP, Alex

Alex Ligertwood has died at 79. RIP. I thought he was older than that. I think of him with Brian Auger's Oblivion Express, although the headlines focus on his time with Carlos Santana. https://www.bing.com/search?q=Alex+Ligertwood+dies&filters=tnTID%3a"PE_63865A82-7A6D-47E4-9195-4EF5DFFB112B"+tnVersion%3a"6665084"+Segment%3a"popularnow.carousel"+tnCol%3a"6"+tnOrder%3a"bbabe5b7-a66d-4e48-8543-c0fb28840f99"&FORM=BSPN01&ecount=50

Members BillF and Brownie, both born in 1939 as me, are no longer with us. I hope to be able to continue posting a while ...
