Vale Ross Hannaford

Post by J.D. »

News today that former Daddy Cool guitarist Ross Hannaford has died:

Saw him a few times. It was always like he was in his own world when he was playing. Nothing seemed to bother him.

From the Daddy Cool days:



Shot around the old St Kilda Esplanade etc.

A loss, a true original.
From the little I know, a borderline savant, brilliant at his chosen interests, disregarding of many other aspects of his life.

Certainly my impression of him and probably that of anyone who ever saw him live in a small venue. He didn't say much. He was a different kind of guy.

Shocking, but true. Famous people are mortal.

Has been described as "the Jimi Hendrix of keyboards". I would agree.
