Have just heard on the radio that Tony Meehan, one of the founder members of "The Shadows" a very successful and popular instrumental group of the 60s, has died. In America you had "The Ventures". Here in the UK we had "The Shadows" Tony was the drummer and a great drummer. After Tony left The Shadows he enjoyed more chart success with another 'Shadow' bass player Jet Harris.

Thanks for the music, Tony, goodbye.
