T O P I C R E V I E WRob JoynerAny other Traffic fans here on cS? Then it's a sad day for you too. Traffic drummer Jim Capaldi died in his sleep last Friday, Jan. 28th in London from a short bout with stomach cancer. He and Steve Winwood wrote almost all of Traffic's music. Capaldi, an accomplished musician, never played the drums before co-founding Traffic. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just last year.The following link tells more... http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Music/01/28/people.capaldi.reut/index.html FFrench quote:Originally posted by Rob Joyner:Any other Traffic fans here on cS?

Nonetheless, I couldn't really relate to Capaldi's later solo projects ....------------------Jürgen P EsdersBerlin, Germany http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Astroaddies [This message has been edited by eurospace (edited January 31, 2005).]GilbertAh, John Barleycorn Must Die!Thanks for the news.AztecdougLow Spark of High Heeled Boys... never really understood the lyrics, but I enjoyed their music just the same!------------------Kind RegardsDouglas HenryEnjoy yourself and have fun.... it is only a hobby!http://home.earthlink.net/~aztecdoug/GilbertWe are all showing our age by responding to this thread. But Traffic did produce some excellent music.Moonwalker1954Yes indeed, Gilbert but music is agelessPierre-YvesWehaveliftoffYes, I met Jim a couple of times, one of the most nonchalant, non-egotists one could ever meet; no problem speaking at length about anything. Jim signed freely on some Traffic promotional CD's I proudly displayed. Jim will be sorely missed, a great talent in the music world which is quite rare with the "new" talentout there nowadays. Too many think one or even two hit LP's and they are superstars. Today's "american idols" are anything but. [This message has been edited by Wehaveliftoff (edited January 31, 2005).]
