Jon Lord

I was very saddened to hear this evening of the death of Jon Lord, keyboard player with Deep Purple, at the age of 71.

His inventive and distinctive organ playing helped distinguish Deep Purple from the other bands of their era, giving additional subtlety and texture to their sound.

Whenever I saw Jon being interviewed on documentaries, he came across as a very engaging, amiable and entertaining man.

A very sad loss.  Rest In Peace Jon.
