The man who gave us Mississippi Queen and so much more good music.

I saw him many times and was never disappointed. I had a few nice conversations with him too.

One of my early guitar milestones was learning the lead from “Theme for an Imaginary Western” note for note.

Enjoy your reunion with Felix.

Leslie West was an amazing guitarist!  Our band did some of his tunes many years ago!  R.I.P. sir.

Heaven is rockin'!

Mountain is one of my favorite bands.  I killed a lot of braincells listening to them.  I suppose Leslie is taking that big Nantucket Sleigh Ride.  RIP Mr West.

Didn't know he died. Too bad.
I met him a couple of times and shared quite a few beers with him when he was in The Vagrants .

RIP old buddy.
