Just woken up with the news, CHEERS Rick Parfitt. I can't believe it at the moment. Listening to this at the moment.

If I was with other Quo fans it would be therapy listening to some/many of the great classics. But its very much a case at the minute of "Even people that are talking to you, remind you that you're really with no-one"
Still, I opened the Prosecco anyway. Sleep well Rick
Catlady I hope you stay around for a while......Rick really was great wasn't he? Yes he was, bless him.
A friend skyped me around 3.30pm to tell me the news. There was supposed to be a pre-Christmas meal tonight for a few of us, but illness amongst the party prevented that, plus the news of Rick to top it all.
Definitely a Christmas Eve to forget....
Anyway, for better or worse, now I am here again (not in the most ideal circumstances) I am sticking around for a bit

Listening the jig in Slow Train now. I love those delicate interplay moments between him and Francis with the rhythm keeping it all together. No-one else plays like they do together. Beautiful.

Just raised a glass at Rick. Whilst drinking my beer I play a list of Parfitt (co)written tracks. Cheers Rick. Thank you for the music!

Just remembered from the Rock On & On doc, where he's eating a vegetable, throws it in the air and says, "Let's Rock" Sense of humour was insane This isn't real...This can't be happening

With a tear in my eye I've just played the Parfitt/Lancaster classic LONELY MAN, but after reading through this thread, he certainly isn't. RIP The original Rhythm Machine Legend.

Had some wine earlier but now it's water because I've to 'play Santa' in a few hours. Just heard the news as I was looking at my FB newsfeed before I drifted off for some sleep, and so I logged in here. So sorry for Rick. Sorry that he wanted to grab life by both hands when he realised it was nearly over, and yet life was out of his grasp. That is so bloody frustrating. Sorry too for the people he leaves behind. So, Rick, thank you for the music, and I'm grateful I got to see you rock that stage indoors & outdoors and to see the life in you. Tonight I raise my glass of water but I promise tomorrow my first glass of wine will be to the legend that is Rick Parfitt.
