3. Thanks for posting this but it doesn't show Sid very much

Anybody got a video that really shows him playing? About all I can see is that he's a double bass guy that doesn't believe in resonant heads.

4. Sib was a very, very nice guy, by all accounts, and extremely funny.

It's always sad when one of the true good guys is gone.

5. Oh, no - what a terrible shock for his family and friends, not to mention the fans on the cruise -

Condolences.

Tell you what, if I had a dime for every time I listened to "Smokin'", I could buy everybody here an election or two - no joke -

Rock in Peace, sir, and sending much gratitude -

Takes me back to high school.

They were great musicians.
