Remembering John Wetton

I have only recently become aware about the sad passing of John Wetton earlier this year on 31st January. 

He was a great singer, songwriter and bass guitarist with a number of bands including Family, UK and Asia.  However, I first became aware of John when he joined King Crimson in 1972 and contributed to their fine LPs Lark's Tongue In Aspic, Starless and Bible Black, Red and U.S.A.  This was for me the best line up of Crimson due in no small part to the rhythm section of John and Bill Bruford.  Stand out songs from this era include Easy Money, Exiles, Book of Saturday, The Night Watch, Fallen Angel and the incomparable Starless.

As previously mentioned, John was involved with other bands and musicians until he lost his fight against cancer.  Thank you so much for all the wonderful music that meant (and means) so much to me John.
