This great man would have been 62 years old today!
If he were alive I'm sure he would still be kicking some major league $@!!

Just a quick note...for any fans of Rory I just checked the official website to see what was new and the whole website is beautifully redone. I really like the playlist and the full discography page. 8)

I had seen Rory 3 weeks earlier in Feb' 76, just before his 28th birthday. I
gave him a big box of Herco picks which I believe had 36 picks.I'd read somewhere that his picks were difficult for him and his bass player to get, so I thought it would be a nice little gift. Whenever I see these videos of Rory's 28th birthday concert, I think that maybe he's using the picks I had given him.... anyway happy birthday to a great musician and more importantly to a decent human being who always took the time to talk and thank his fans. You're missed Rory !! :(

The man was a legend. My favorite track was "Follow Me". Great solo.

I saw Rory back in the mid-70's. He opened for another band. I think
the other band was 10cc.
