Hometown boy Mike Finnegan passed today.
While not a player most will have knowledge of, he was a musicians musician and had one Hell of a voice.
His first “break” was playing keyboard for Hendrix on “Electric Ladyland”, on the track “Rainy Day, Dream Away”.
He toured with Crosby, Stills & Nash for years along with Joe Cocker, Taj Mahal, Bonnie Raitt and numerous others.
I was fortunate to have played with him, prior to his move to the West Coast.
Here’s a vid of him and Bonnie.
Rest In Peace Mike.
