RIP: CLAUDE NOBS

1936 - 01/10/13
 "Funky Claude was running in and out pulling kids out the ground."  

Recognize the lyric? Well you should (Deep 

Purple:Smoke On the Water); and that was Claude Nobs,

founder of the Montreaux Jazz Festival in 1967 and later 

expanded to cover all genres of music.

Thanks for the music Claude, and rock on...
