Dave Mason, Rock Legend, Passes Away

0:00On April 22nd, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Dave Mason, co-founder of Traffic, passed away Sunday at his home in Gardnerville, Nevada. He was 79 years old. His family shared that he cooked a great dinner with his wife Winifred, then settled in for a nap in his favorite chair with their dog nearby, slipping away peacefully. Earlier this week, his relatives posted a heartfelt note on Facebook, calling it the perfect, close to a life lived on his own terms. They painted a picture of him, surrounded by the Carson Valley scenery he cherished so much. Fans and music lovers are mourning the loss of a true legend, whose tunes shaped generations. Mason first blew up with traffic in the 1960s, then crushed it as a solo act in the 70s, with massive hits like feeling, alright, only. You know, and I know, and we just disagree. He got inducted into the Rock Hall with his bandmates back in 2004. Throughout his career, he jammed with giants lending guitar magic to Jimmy Hendrix's electric ladyland.
