Very sad to hear that Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie passed away today.

Christine Anne McVie (born Christine Perfect on 12 July 1943) was an English musician, and the co-lead vocalist and keyboardist of Fleetwood Mac, which she joined in 1970. She also released three solo albums.

In 1998, McVie was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Fleetwood Mac, and received the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. RIP

Led Zeppelin released their eighth studio LP "In Through the Out Door" on Aug. 15, 1979. It was their final album of entirely new material. It was recorded over a three-week period in November and December 1978 at ABBA's Polar Studios in Stockholm, Sweden. It was the last album released by the band before the death of drummer John Bonham in 1980.

The album was named by the group to describe its recent struggles amidst the death of Robert Plant's son Karac in 1977, and the taxation exile the band took from the UK. The exile resulted in the band being unable to tour on British soil for over two years, and trying to get back into the public mind was therefore like "trying to get in through the 'out' door."

In contrast to previous Led Zeppelin albums, "In Through the Out Door" had a much greater influence on the part of bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones and vocalist Robert Plant. John Paul Jones has said it was "mainly because I had a new toy. I had this big new keyboard. And Robert and I just got to rehearsals early, basically. With Zeppelin writing, if you came up with good things, and everybody agreed that they were good things, they got used. There was no formula for writing. So Robert and I, by the time everybody turned up for rehearsals, we’d written three or four songs. So we started rehearsing those immediately, because they were something to be getting on with."

Being their 8th LP, did you still have the same fondness for the band as you did when they released their first couple of LP's?

Happy 43rd Birthday to "In Through The Out Door"!!!

On June 13, 1983, the world was exposed to an up and coming guitarist and his band for the first time.

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble released their debut album "Texas Flood".

The album was named after a cover featured on the album "Texas Flood," recorded by blues singer Larry Davis in 1958. Produced by the band and recording engineer Richard Mullen, it was recorded in only three days at Jackson Browne's personal recording studio in Los Angeles.

People took notice.

Happy 39th Birthday to SRV & DT's "Texas Flood"!!

How often do you get your Stevie fix?

This picture speaks volumes. If you take an extremely talented keyboard player who decides to put a legendary Hammond Organ thru a Marshall amp. Deep Purple's Jon Lord did just that. It changed the way musicians used keyboards.

Jon would have been celebrating his 81st birthday today. Sadly, Jon passed away on July 16, 2012.

We have also posted that today would have been Les Paul's 107th birthday. Think how different music would sound if it weren't for these two, Jon Lord and Les Paul. Born on the same day (a few years apart). The moons and the stars must have in phase on June 9th, 1915 and 1941.

Happy Birthday Jon. We thank you on so many levels.

The Who's Pete Townshend has 77 candles on his birthday cake today. Townshend says he did not have many friends growing up, so he spent much of his boyhood reading adventure novels like Gulliver’s Travels and Treasure Island. He then saw the film "Rock Around the Clock," which sparked his fascination with American rock and roll. Not long thereafter, he went to see Bill Haley perform in London, Townshend's first concert. At the time, he did not see himself pursuing a career as a professional musician; instead, he wanted to become a journalist. He ultimately chose to study graphic design at Ealing Art College, enrolling in 1961. At Ealing, Townshend studied alongside future Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood and future Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury. Pete dropped out in 1964 to focus on music full-time. It was a good choice.

He was ranked No. 3 in Dave Marsh's list of Best Guitarists in The New Book of Rock Lists, No. 10 in Gibson.com's list of the top 50 guitarists, and No. 10 again in Rolling Stone magazine's updated 2011 list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time. In 1983, he received the Brit Award for Lifetime Achievement, in 1990 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Who, in 2001 received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award as a member of the Who, and in 2008 received Kennedy Center Honors.

In 2016, he and fellow bandmate Roger Daltrey received The George and Ira Gershwin Award for Lifetime Musical Achievement at UCLA.

With all that said, the most important thing, what is your favorite song that Pete has written, played on, etc?

Happy Birthday Pete!! Thank you for the music!!!
