On April 22nd, Dave Mason, the guitarist behind the rock classic feeling alright from his traffic days, passed away Sunday at 79. He also scored solo hits with only you know, and I know, and the smooth we just disagree. A cause of death hasn't come out yet. His family shared a statement full of deep sadness, saying he lived a life all about the music and folks he loved. Mason kicked off in traffic back in 1967, dropping UK smashes like hole in my shoe before bouncing early due to his restless vibe. He popped up everywhere after that, laying down tracks with the Rolling Stones, Jimmy Hendrix, George Harrison, and Eric Clapton, even touring with, Delaney and Bonnie. Later, he joined Fleetwood Mac in the early 90s and laughed about being the forest scum of rock. Solo, he built a solid run in the 70s on Columbia with albums like Let It Flow, featuring that big we just disagree ballad. Stevie Wonder and even Michael Jackson, guested on his records, keeping him connected to
