RIP. He was in The Humblebums with Billy Connolly before then forming Steelers Wheel. He left us 2 classic tracks - Stuck In The Middle With You as well as Baker Street. I still have his first 2 solo albums - City To City and Night Owl. Both excellent. I will dig them out and give them a spin as a tribute to Gerry. ------------- UA "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity but an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty" |

One of my all time favourite musicians. I have all his
albums and listen to them regularly. I never tire of hearing his music. It`s sad that he`s gone. ------------- Robbie

This is a real shock. Super musciian with a legacy of some great songs. Whether with Stealers Wheel or solo this guy was excellent. I saw him in Stadium and if you go to 'rock photos' you'll see photos of that concert. RIP Gerry. ------------- May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

Still gets shivers when I hear that opening riff, and am transported direct to the Grove.
