Dream weaver and Love is alive are about as classic 70s as anything. I liked a lot of his lesser known songs too, RIP Gary.

Everyday bits and bobs of my youth just fade away. Went to the US Nationals over the weekend and the attendance was just sad. Drag racing was once a big deal. Wide world of sports shown live big. Today's youth are just not interested in anything not online.

Sorry Gary. Didn't mean to Hijack your thread. I loved Dream Weaver.

Forgot that he was a founding member of Spooky Tooth. Also, I didn't know that he was great pals with George Harrison, and played keyboard on all of George's solo albums.

My team leader at the labs was named Trey Weaver And every time that song came on we all sing treeeeyyyty weaver!

Going to the nationals is so expensive now I can understand not going. I wanted to go this year’s, but the stars were not aligned.

He hasn't been doing well for a few years now. and it happens in 3's. Jimmy Buffet, now Gary Wright, and it hasn't been a week.

My kids said the lead singer for Smash Mouth died over the weekend, so that's #3

But the truth is that for many of us are at the age where many of the artists of impact in our teens are all near 80 now. So beyond average age after living the rock and roll lifestyle. The piper is getting paid…

oh yeah, he did, I knew who they were but never really listened to their music. And he was just a few years older than me. Sad times for the music industry.

He wrote Dream Weaver in an hour, but it took years for him to realize what it meant:

"‘Dream Weaver, I believe you can get me through the night…’ was a song about someone with infinite compassion and love carrying us through the night of our trials and suffering. None other than God Himself.”‘ - Gary Wright

How true! RIP, Gary.
