    He has been in bad health for a long time. West, Bruce and Lang one of my favorite threesomes.

    RIP Leslie.

    Mountain Climbing and Nantucket Sleighride made a big impression on me as a kid. Theme From An Imaginary Western still does it all these years later. He had some really good blues records too. West Bruce & Laing - awesome stuff. RIP

    Mississippi Queen - great song. Not familiar with their other stuff. Felix Pappalardi, Mountain’s original bass player, produced some of Cream’s albums.
