I guess it does happen in threes.
Drake Levin the original guitarist with Paul Revere and the Raiders has passed away.
The first time I ever saw a Mosrite double neck was on TV being played by Drake Levin.

What is ironic is Mr. Bill had PM'd me not too long ago with a PIC of him playing his Doubleneck,
and we were discussing Drake under different circumstances.

Re: Drake Levin
Paul Revere and the Raiders played the first rock concert I ever went to, so Drake Levin was the first big-time guitar player I ever saw. RIP Drake.

Re: Drake Levin
The Raiders are still one of my fav bands ever. I saw Mark Lindsey a few years ago at an oldies show. ? and The Mysterians were there too, great band and he looks exactly the same! Mark closed the show and all I can say is if you get the chance to see him, by all means go. He still has the voice and looks great.
RIP Drake

Re: Drake Levin
That is so sad. They are the first band that I remember seeing on TV as a kid.

RIP Drake.

I haven't heard any Raider songs, to be honest. I have to check them out.
