Rock Guitarist Leslie West's Leg Amputated

[Sox]

A great guitar man, hope he gets well soon and I hope he and Corky can carry on doing what they do best and make more music.

I am not very familiar with Mountain/Leslie West's work outside of Mississippi Queen

Here you go lady b....you might enjoy this tune...

Nantucket Sleighride

Considering how iconic both "Mississippi Queen" and Mountain are, I'm kind of surprised at the lack of response to this news. Do we just consider our past heroes disposable after their prime? I hope not...

Well....Mountain was broke up, by the time I got into them...

Thanks to the radio playing "Mississippi Queen", ''Nantucket Sleighride'' and ''Theme from an Imaginary Western'' I became a fan.

Now it's a rare if you hear ''Nantucket Sleighride'' or ''Theme from an Imaginary Western''...

Classic Rock radio replaced them with U2 and Nirvana - who aren't even classic rock.

but, don't get me started on classic rock radio. :mad
