In Memory
of Herb Staehr
I was
saddened to hear that Herb Staehr, friend and
author of the book
‘Alvin Lee and Ten Years After - A Visual
History’ passed away on Saturday 12th
January 2008.
Herb
can be seen sitting in the audience, front row,
on the cover of The Woodstock album
but of course that was not his first gig. He
followed the band's career since the very beginning.
He
was the band's historian. His book is the scrapbook
we never kept for ourselves
and I will always treasure my copy.
In
the past five years we’ve come to know
him as a kind, intelligent and witty person.
He’s been a great supporter to all band
members past and present.
We’ll
all miss him but we won’t forget him.
I know I’ll be looking out for him at
the next gig.
With
condolences to his family from all of us.
Leo
Lyons
