Janis Joplin's guitar player passes-R.I.P.

[aaronvan]

Sam Andrew, who as a founder of the band Big Brother and the Holding Company was a mainstay of the fertile San Francisco rock scene of the 1960s and played a key role in Janis Joplin’s early career, died on Thursday in San Rafael, Calif. He was 73.

I'm a big fan of Big Brother. I especially love Cheap Thrills. Very sad to hear of Sam's death BTW, Leslie Gore passed away yesterday. She was only 68

Thanks for posting this. Another extraordinarily talented musician from an incredibly rich and vibrant musical era has passed away and we are the poorer for it. RIP.

Yes, I had noticed that, too. Sad to learn of it.
