Phantom 2,535 Posted June 28, 2017 Here's the link for Richard Caire aka Kai-Ray http://www.startribune.com/richard-caire-rock-n-roll-musician-dies-at-81/430582793/ And here's Trashman's Blues, the track that gave The Trashmen their name. I believe it was original drummer Steve Wahrer who decided on the idea of The Trashmen as their name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And as his signature song is still in heavy use, I think the obit is becoming fairly likely. But he's still active and not on death's door yet.

If you are familiar with the whole neo-psychedelic musical scene, the producers (also playing in this track) are two guys of the Swedish band Düngen. Anyway, an update from her family now confirms she suffers from a brain aneurysm and broken vertebrae. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,979 Posted June 28, 2017 By the way, the obits mention the use of the song in the recent US congressional vote to undo Obamacare. That's what my previous update on De Carlo mentioned as well. I'm not sure De Carlo would have obited without that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted June 28, 2017 Apparently Night Ranger drummer Kelly Keagy had a 'slight health scare' recently. Better known as open heart surgery to deal with a birth defect. "It was a birth defect, where I have a bicuspid instead of a tricuspid like everybody else does. In other words, there’s just two flaps and not three." Getting in that 66-72 year old wheelhouse.
