71 ,jeez I feel so old . great band in their time .I've still got a few of their albums in the attic .
I remember seeing Purple at the Brangwyn Hall in 1974. Ears ringing for days afterwards and sat in the front row. The most wonderful and loudest band in the world at the time. Proud to say I managed to shake Jon's hand at the end of the concert. Another great part of my youth passes. God bless you Jon.
Does make you realise you're getting on. Read somewhere the other day Mark Hammil (Luke Skywalker) is 60!
