R.I.P. Rick Davies (Supertramp)

 We lose another one:  Rick Davies, co-founder of Supertramp passed away Sept. 6, 2025.  Rick Davies was 81, after a lengthy battle with multiple myeloma.

I first became aware of Supertramp when "Bloody Well Right" was on FM radio, probably early 1975, a really great song.  Along with "Dreamer", which anchored the "Crime Of The Century" album.  And "Even in the Quietest Moments" is a brilliant album (and song!).  Their landmark album "Breakfast In America" came out in early 1979, and was massive.  To the point that I felt they were overplayed.  But it's still great.

So Rest In Peace, Rick Davies, and thanks for the music.
