i was so sad when he died` though he`s gone my love for his music is ever fresh in my heart; r;i;p maestro you live on in our hearts;;; love you forever
I really appreciate this. I was too young to know Maestro, but my brothers were major fans and would always tell me about his music. They were devastated when he passed and always said how eerie it was he made this song and passed soon afterwards
Meastro was also a gifted pannist. I remember he brought down a small panside (from princes Town, if memory serves me)to join with us for a panorama in the late sixties. I believe my band then was Scarlet Symphony of Marabella
May be a composition about a past accident - but it gives me chills whenever he says don't cry they're bringing me back better than before. His early death made him even more of a legend....
@004561 I was a child when this happened. I recall that he had a dream of his accidental death. It caused a change in his dress...he started wearing black clothes and painted his car black ( projecting what he saw was his earthly end ) The (tv show) "Bionic Man" was an image he chose to include in his song to portray himself stronger on his journey.....after death. This lives with many people up to this day. I remembered it like it was yesterday.
OMG I still can't listen to this song without my blood runnig cold. He just about foretold his death. Too bad he was a master at this.We still love him

Boy Grant, is that you!! One of the baddest six bassmen in South the 1960's.
What a bass section Silvertones had in '68.
. Jonesy, Pickett, Raymond, Johnny Cool etc. You would know me from Marabella . I was on tenor bass.
I did not beat in Free French, and I knew Maestro so it must have been earlier in the Marabella band.
PS. picket still beating a nine Bass in Boston.

Is it Free French?? Correct me if I'm wrong...

Nah, I beat pan with two bands in the sixties, Scarlet Symphony in Marabella and Wasa Silvertones in Sando.
If not Scarlet it must have been Silvertones from up the Coffee. (We get old, memory fades a little)

was this a vision or pure co-incidence.whatever he still lives on, he was in a class of his own
004561 3 years ago
He was singing about a near fatal car accident from 1975. So I would say it was coincidence....
