Never too old to rock & roll, too young to die - Jethro Tull

Paddy's sudden passing away has touched a deep chord with us - all the memories keep flooding back; our time spent with him... in classrooms, on the sports field, watching him play his music....If there was one thing Paddy would have wanted us to do, it would be to celebrate his life, his passions, his infectious energy. 

Let's raise a toast to our dear friend and remember the good times:

Saturday 8th June, 7:00 p.m.

The White Owl, One Indiabulls Center, Tower 2, Senapati Bapat Marg. 

See you there!

                   - Jo, Neville, Viks, Merchie.

The Great Gig in the Sky (1957-2013)

The last post was 08 April 2011 to wish Paddy a memorable birthday... with sadness this is to commemorate Paddy's Great Gig in the Sky.  

Paddy and I go back a long, long winding road to circa early 1960's when music forged a life-long bond.  He lived around the corner and jammin' was our mission and rock 'n roll our game.

Our debut was circa 1965 in the middle school with james timms and linda khambata and then with neville who made sure the beat played on. 

I still remember the gig we played at Paddy's dad's company - yellow turtlenecks, bell-bottom striped pants, long hair, and delivering the beatles, ventures, seekers, rolling stones to a corporate crowd!

Paddy wouldn't look kindly on commiserating - no, he'd want a big bad celebration marking the good times. 

Post your warm memories in the comments. 

Peace.
