Alvin Lee, one of the most gifted musicians of all time (IMO), has passed away at 68
"I'd love to change the world", althought the lyrics are a bit controversial, has one of the greatest guitar runs I've ever heard.
He never got the praise and recognition from the public that he got from his peers.

We'll go down in history as the first society that wouldn't save itself because it wasn't cost effective ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Cited as an influence by many well known guitar players. Not too many get a GIBSON signature model, but Alvin Lee did. RIP.

This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
Sugar the road, Mr. Lee, sugar the road.
Woodstock.... I'M GOING HOME! MY BABY!
I listened to this album constantly back in the day, and purchased the CD a couple years back.
Another truly gifted guitarist passes.
"In my day you had musicians who experimented with drugs. Now it's druggies experimenting with music" - Alfred G Clark (circa 1972)
Always loved Lee and 10YA. Truly one of the most under-rated and neglected guitarists ever. RIP
