RIP
Was Dave Mason in more bands than just traffic ?

 

[JohnC]

Contributed to work by the Rolling Stones, Hendrix, Clapton, 2 Beatles and Fleetwood Mac…… that’s all.
Not bad, I didn’t realize to played with so many greats.

Never knew he played with some greats, Dear Mr Fantasy is my fav Traffic song, RIP Mr Mason

 

[JohnC]

Great song.

Here’s another Traffic hit. Steve Winwood is such a talented guy.

 

[JohnC]

Feeling Alright - great original arguably outdone by Joe Cocker.

Loved his stuff, rip sir.
Steve Winwood was like 15 or 16 when he started with the Spencer Davis group.

 

[JohnC]

That’s pretty crazy. Some people are just born talented. I’m convinced. Not to diminish the work they put in to become great, but he was probably more talented as high school senior than guys in the 40s who had been making music since before he was born.

Naturally born talent
