Can't believe we missed this here . always considered UFOs "other guy thats not Schenker but really not fair. Some of the great stuff from ufo was during his era. He died June 10th.
He was on no place to run, wild willing and innocent and Mechanix. Lots of very solid songwriting with Mogg on these albums. Word was he was also a hell of a nice guy. I heard he was giving guitar lessons in florida a few years back. That would have been a kick.


RIP Tonka.

Hmm. lots of reads but no comments. Guess we'll have to wait till Schenker kicks off? :)

Paul was awesome. I took lessons from him on two separate occasions and he was a great teacher and person with a fantastic sense of humor and tons of stories. I was going to contact him about starting up again once I got a steady work schedule.
I wished him a Happy Birthday on the morning of June 9 and that night his daughter was posting that he died later in the day.
There's going to be a celebration of his life at a popular venue here in September. I'd love to play at it and I hope some UFOs show up.

Maybe it was your old posts I read back a few years ago.
