Y&T - Rescue Me

Just one week into the new year, now says that even a hard rock musician left us. Dave Meniketti announced in a statement that his old friend and band colleague of Y & T, the bassist Phil Kennemore, today died of lung cancer. As recently as the New Year's Eve was a support concert for Phil Kennemore in Santa Clara, California. Phil Kennemore was 57 years.

Lay my head down, turn out the light

As I pray it all will be all right

Silently I close my eyes

As I whisper to the world, "goodnight"

~ Phil Kennemore

History:
Y&T (originally known as Yesterday & Today) is an American hard rock/heavy metal band formed in 1974. They hail from Oakland, California. The band released two studio albums on London Records as Yesterday & Today in the 1970s, before shortening their name to Y&T and releasing several albums on A&M Records beginning in 1981, as well as albums on Geffen Records, Avex Records, and others. The band was originally co-managed by Herbie Herbert (who also managed Journey) and Louis "Lou" Bramy. The band has sold over 4 million albums worldwide to date.

We remember Phil Kennemore with this song:



Todays tune Rescue Me is taken from the third studio album Earthshaker, released in 1981. The clip is Live At San Francisco Civic Auditorium 1985!



Here is a clip from juni 2009

That people are dying are in fact quite normal, although those who get celebrated, is only the people who have accomplished something, just as we do in this case. We celebrates musician, which I think is important that you do, it's actually them that we listen to, and we buy their music and see their concerts.

We should not forget two other heros who recently passed away

Mick Karn, the bass player who helped define Japan's sound, succumbed to cancer on Tuesday at his home in London. He was 52.

Don Van Vliet, aka Captain Beefheart, has died in California following complications from multiple sclerosis. He was 69.
