For those that knew him through all the On-U Sound recordings he contributed to, as well as his pioneering work with Sugarhill, Keith LeBlanc has sadly passed.

Ah man real shame

 69 does not seem old nowadays. Great drummer his Major Mulfuntion album used to be a regular on rotation at mine. Have a sample pack of his drumming which I have used. Tackhead were great as well. Sad loss

Maybe, then it’ll be even sadder when the chat is filled with several In Memorium threads.

i dont think there would be that many. especialy glastonbury related ones (which is what this forum should be)

Not like e.g. Richard Tandy is going to get his own thread anyway.

is it really in memoriam then or has it turned into a game of name the dead person? i mean if someone mentions richard tandy in this thread couldnt they have made a new thread for him? and if they decide his life is not worth a new thread why are they mentioning him at all?
