Default Robbie Baqchman joins Jeff Beck!

Now Robbie Bachman, Drummer for Bachman Turner Overdrive and Brave Belt, has passed to the other side!
Loved driving to BTO!

RIP, Robbie. Maybe Jeff Beck needed a drummer in the great beyond.
My first concert. BTO in 1974.
Also, my first exposure to clouds of marijuana smoke.

RIP Robbie. BTO high on my list of favorites.

Many good ones have gone up the "Stairway to Heaven" lately...

Jeff Beck will always be in my mind. BTO will always be in my mind. Their music will live on even past the Bitch beat we have to suffer with. LONG LIVE ROCK
BLOW BY BLOW with BECK.

And just announced Robbie Knievel died today of pancreatic cancer at age 60

Robbie Knievel, a record-setting stunt performer and the son of Evel Knievel, died of pancreatic cancer, his brother confirmed to multiple outlets. He was 60 years old.

Kelly Knievel, Robbie Knievel’s brother, told CBS News Friday that his brother died after being in hospice care for several days. He was with his three daughters.

"Daredevils don’t live easy lives," Kelly Knievel told The Associated Press. "He was a great daredevil. People don’t really understand how scary it is what my brother did."

Knievel followed in his father’s footsteps with a slate of jumps to his name, including his famous 1989 jump in which he cleared the Caesars Palace fountains in Las Vegas. He also stunned audiences by jumping a 200-foot-wide chasm of the Grand Canyon, over vehicles, between buildings and more.
