Two truisms have assaulted both Danny and Peter...
Time stands still for no one,
and
Time doesn't heal all wounds...
Once things went off the reservation for both of them, time was their enemy, and it left them both behind.
Sadly I didn't even discover them until I was 42...
Due to American radio air play bias and politics, I didn't even know Black Magic Woman wasn't a Santana song until I stumbled upon the Rattlesnake Guitar CD tribute to Peter Green. And then when I heard the original... OMG!!!
I had been searching for that perfection for all my life!
None of any of that lessens my adoration for Danny Kirwan and his playing, style, and technique. He's simply one of the best ever, and dare I say, Peter was the best ever...
