So without John Mayall, none of us would be here on the Ledge praising or cursing our favourite band.
he had an incredible knack for recognizing talent. 90 is a good long life though, he seemed to live it well.

He also let john and chris stay at his house for a while when the band moved to california... where john joined the brain damage club by jumping off the 3rd floor naked into the pool.
