Trini Lopez R.I.P. of Covid-19
Age 83.

I didn't know who he was until Dave Grohl brought him to my attention. We've lost so many great musicians this year.

I think I did know this song:

I dunno who Dave Grohl is????????

The drummer from Nirvana:



The singer (and 1/3 of the guitars) from Foo Fighters:



He also was the drummer for Queens of the Stone Age on this album:



Grohl's signature guitar is closely related to one of the two Lopez signature models:

Dave's:


vs Trini's (I prefer the look of the Trini):

I'm old enough to remember Trini and he will be missed by us old farts.

That's ok, I don't know who Trini Lopez is...

Knew the name for years because of the guitar but had never heard a note of him before. I guess the same thing happened with me fora at least a few years with LP. Maybe over 10 years. Did a guitar report in school and the teacher asked me if I ever heard LP play. I didnt hear him until years later maybe in an old movie or a documentary.
RIP Trini

Not sure what it means, but half the people that have died recently, I thought they were already dead; Trini included. RIP

+1 I didn't know he was alive either.
