Don Van Vliet January 15, 1941 – December 17, 2010

One of the true music purveyors of the 20th Century, has been lost.

Don Van Vliet ( a.k.a Captain Beefheart) was a true inspiration for me, pushing boundaries completely in music's possibilities.With Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band, there debut 'Safe As Milk' blended Jazz, blues, rock, psychedelia and anything else you can think of. however in 1969 made one of the best and unique albums ever; 'Trout Mask Replica'.

He will be sorely missed as much as his work with Frank Zappa, his own but also missed as a pioneer in contemporary music.


Rest In peace.
