Total shock this past week to learn that Craig Gill drummer for the Inspiral Carpets had passed away. The Inspirals were a fave of mine and true classy gents when I had the pleasure of meeting them. So tonight we honour his memory with some of the music he helped create. As well as a handful of other music of the time and from his hometown area. RIP Craig

Tower Of Song! Show tracks for Sat. Nov. 12/16
So 2016 drags on and takes another musical life from us. It was just a couple weeks ago we celebrated Leonard Cohen's birthday and his new album release. In the middle of enjoying his latest offering it turned out to be his swan song. We celebrated his contributions a few weeks ago with some Brit indie covers of his works. We do that again tonight in his memory. RIP Leonard Cohen
