Hey - does anyone know that way back when, when Deep Purple still mattered, i.e. in the early 70s, that during one show on one of their tours, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore was ill or something and couldn't play with the band for one show on this tour and the guy that was picked to stand in for him at the last moment was none other than Spirit vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Randy California??!! I remember learning that years and years ago, even before I was into Spirit. But when I realized that Mr. California was such a phenomenal guy in his own right I was able to appreciate it that much more!! Anyway, it's too bad Randy's gone - he died about 15 years ago or so. Sad. We miss you buddy. RIP!
