Full Story

ETA: The official Boston web site is kinda painful in its simplistic reaction.

That's so sad.

Not a good week for 55 year old musicians.

Delay was one of my regular customers and a really nice guy. I am not a Blues fan, but I liked the man behind the harmonica. Gonna miss him.

Both very sad. In the case of Boston, it wasn't really my kind of music, but I do have some good memories associated with their tunes playing softly in the background. (*wistful sigh*) Anyway, I hope they're enjoying the celestial jam session with James Brown and all the others.

How sad for both.

I like Boston's website. Take down everything else and say what you mean.

Sorry to see him go.

These guys have a strong educational background.

I hope they reconsider touring again someday. Even on a limited tour.

It just wouldn't be the same without Brad.

They were about to embark on a tour.
