Did that band have many hits as I have not heard of them before. R.I.P. Steve Cash. Those two songs were their biggest hits, they did have a few LPs out. And are still around. A brand new live album by the Daredevils, a two-disc set featuring 21 tracks, including old favorites, rare songs and a couple of new ones, titled "Alive & Wild", was made available in October 2011. This was taken from shows performed at Wildwood Springs Lodge in Steelville, Missouri in November 2010. The band line up for these shows included: John Dillon, Steve Cash, Michael ‘Supe’ Granda, Ron Gremp, Dave Painter, Kelly Brown, Bill Jones, Ruell Chappell (now on percussion and vocals) and Nick Sibley (guitar, mandolin, backing vocals), a former bandmate of Chappell's. Since 2010, the band has continued to make concert appearances with this nine piece line-up. Former early band member Buddy Brayfield, now Dr. Sam Brayfield is a family practice, hospice and palliative care physician in Osage Beach, Missouri and plays with a local band 'Buddy and the Notes'. For the first time since 1980, Brayfield rejoined the group for a reunion concert at Gillioz Theater in September 2010 that included four of the original six members. Brayfield indicated that he decided to play in the Missouri concert since his children had never seen him play with the group. In early 2018, the band announced on their Facebook page the release of a new album, "Off The Beaten Path", as a self release. On September 25, 1999 Steve Canaday was killed, aged 55, when the small plane he was traveling in crashed in Nashville, Tennessee while he was working as an aerial photographer. On July 23, 2004, guitarist Bill Brown died of smoke inhalation in a house fire in Springfield that also took the life of another popular Springfield guitarist, Don Shipps (from Supe's side band, Supe & the Sandwiches, the Titanic Blues Band and earlier Granny's Bathwater). On October 16 of this same year, the group and several other Springfield bands appeared at the Abou Ben Adhem Shrine Mosque in a memorial show for Brown and benefit for his family. Bobby 'Lloyd' Hicks, the group's 1982 drummer, died on February 19, 2017 after suffering extensive lung damage, stemming from double pneumonia, just three weeks shy of his 70th birthday. Steve Cash died on October 13, 2019 at age 73 after an extended illness Band playing on those two videos from the 70's: Buddy Brayfield - vocals, keyboards Randle Chowning - vocals, lead electric & acoustic guitars, steel guitar, mandolin Larry Lee - vocals, drums, saw Steve Canaday - vocals, guitar, bass (deceased) Bill Brown - vocals, guitars (deceased) Steve Cash - vocals, harmonica, percussion, keyboards (deceased)

Sad to hear of the death of Les Chadwick, bass player with Gerry and the Pacemakers. I saw them a few times at the Cavern, before they went on to great success internationally. RIP Les.

I was into punk when Rush were around so never new anything about their drummer until recently when he was mentioned on Sky Arts on their excellent Art Of Drumming 4 part series. My favourites are of course Keith Moon for showmanship but maybe for technical ability i'd go for Carl Palmer. Here's a Neil Peart drum solo . To paraphrase a quote from the greatest film of all time , Amadeus ..."too many drums?
