Old Men in Chairs remember Five Great Artists we lost in the last year (or so!) #reaction, #tribute

2023 was a tough year for musical artists. We lost some of the all-time greats including Tina Turner, Jeff Beck and Robbie Robertson. During the last year, I paid tribute to all of these and also Steve Harwell of Smashmouth and Dino Danelli of theYoung Rascals who passed away right before Christmas 2022.

In this video, as we get ready to embrace a New Year, I sample portions of those prior reactions. If any of these whet your appetite, here are links to the original videos I did: (In order of appearance)

Dino Danelli in the Young Rascals, "People gotta be free"

Jeff Beck with The Yardbirds, "Shape of Things to Come"
(Sorry, actually it is Jimmy Page on guitar!)

Jeff is also featured in y recent video about the great Bob Dylan song
"Like A Rolling Stone." Who did it best? Here is a link to that:
