Y & T Bassist Phil Kennemore RIP 1953-2011
Y & T Bassist, Phil Kennemore dies at the young age of 57 from lung cancer.
WOW, that was some hard news to swallow. Growing up in the Bay Area, I am truly a long time Y & T (Yesterday and Today) fan. Frontman Dave Meniketti formed Y & T, the hard rock group, along with Phil Kennemore back in 1972 in Oakland, CA. Y & T has had a few member changes over the years but Phil and Dave were always there. I had heard last year that Phil was diagnosed with stage 4 Lung Cancer and was devastated. I didn't realize that in just a few short months of hearing that, he would be gone. On NYE 2010, there was a benefit for Phil Kennemore at the Avalon. I was trying to work out how I could go to the benefit but I missed it. I heard it was incredible.
Dave Meniketti confirmed the news of Phil's passing on a blogpost and also had the following tribute:
"As a musician, with those huge fingers, his bass playing was always loud, strong, and deep, filling the largest or smallest of stages equally," Meniketti wrote. "I will miss his sense of humor, his amazing wit, but most of all I will always miss not seeing him to my left on the stages I will play from this moment forward."
Phil was a great musician but also an all around great guy. He will be missed. Ryan put together a fan video to honor Phil and it is on youtube with this link and I will try and see how to upload it here.
We will miss you Phil but you will live in our hearts forever and with the music of Y&T.

Happy New Year 2011....
HI Everyone and a Happy New Year to you all!!! 2011 will be a great year, yes I promise you! Musicwise you have a wide selection of unsigned Rock and Metal bands to choose from for your new favorites. It seems that today's radio stations have decided to walk away from the rock scene and replace their revenues supporting Pop Rock and Mild Rock or "Safety Rock" as I call. They play it safe for their fans in hopes that their parents will buy the records and be duped into buying another Pop Rock Album with the tease of one heavier rock sound song.
Well let me tell you as one ROCK parent to another, " I DON"T BUY IT!!". If my kid wants to hear Rock, Metal or Punk; darnit, he will get it!! None of this song tease of one heavier rock song and then we buy the album and it is all pop rock and mild stuff. He is then disappointed and then I am too since I shelled out the money for another CD with only 1 song that he likes on it!
Well Thank Goodness for XM and Sirius!! They will play music even if the bands are unsigned or not on major labels. They just care about MUSIC and what the audience wants. They have a variety of channels set to satisfy anyone's music desires! Mine happens to be Octane and the Hair Nation channel. My hubby loves the 80s channel. So this year, let's celebrate the NON Radio stations!!! Hats off to enjoying what we want to hear, when we want to hear it and at the touch of a button!!
This year, you will be learning about so many new bands from me. I have a stack of a dozen or two CDs to review so bring on the new year and the New MUSIC!!!!
