I know there are a few Deep Purple fans on the vine

A bit before my time but I remember my dad liked Deep Purple.

R.I.P Jon Lord, time to show the big guy how to rock!!

[Newton]

Oh no......love purple......sorry day indeed........

[Peas'n'Kews]

Yup, a big Deep Purple fan back in the day...

Showing my age, I heard of his demise via Classic FM - his last works were of classical nature!

Now if only my DP albums weren't on vinyl, in the loft, with nothing to play them on......

Try this (it was after all written cos of a fire at Montreux) Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water (From "Live At Montreux 2006" DVD) - YouTube

And for the classical side... Jon Lord - Durham Awakes - YouTube

[Snadger]

R.I.P. that man.

Machine Head was the first LP I ever bought.

[Glutton4...]

Sweet dreams, Jon.

Such happy memories on such a sad day. Respect.
