Commander Sozo Calls One Home

Dana Key has passed away. If you don't know who he is, it probably doesn't matter a whole lot, but if you do, it probably does. Degarmo & Key was a huge band for me during my teen years. I remember seeing them play in Kansas City when I was about 15, and during one of Dana's solos, his Strat just up and quit. Tommy Cathey and Eddie DeGarmo duelled it out while Dana and stage hands tried to fix the problem, the answer to which was to grab another guitar from backstage.

I still love this stuff, and today I'm just a bit envious of Dana.
