RIP Danny Kirwan of Fleetwood Mac. Died 8th June 2018, aged 68. His contribution to the "Real" Fleetwood Mac is often overshadowed by Peter Green's, but Peter Green himself said: "I never would have done Albatross if it wasn't for Danny". One of my favourite Fleetwood Mac tracks is Jigsaw Puzzle Blues, where Danny played all the guitar parts, and which I've struggled to play even half competently for several years. He obviously had "demons", had a bad relationship with alcohol,and lived rough on the streets of London for a while. I still love listening to his playing during his "golden" years.
