One hell of a trio... Robert Plant, the wonderful Sandy Denny (RIP) and Jack Bruce's 365 GTB/4... 8)
I never knew that Jack Bruce owned a Daytona 8)

I'd also forgotten that Sandy Denny had duetted with Robert Plant (on 'The Battle of Evermore') - which inspired me to dig out my copy of Led Zeppelin IV & fire up my B&O turntable ... :rr:

RIP Chris indeed. He lived in my village (or I live in his..) and was frequently seen in local pubs until a few years ago. Less so in last 15 years but I have bumped into him a few times and he always had time to say hi, he will be missed by music fans the world over as well as locally.

I listened to his Blues Guitars today. Quite an interesting collection
