Dave Cousins, primary individual in the Strawbs has died. Probably not reckoned big in the synth world but certainly influencial if you like Rick Wakeman, and I would recommend the album Hero and Heroine if you like your mellotron. Nice guy as well, My daughters middle name came from the song Grace Darling, by Dave.
