My friend Maria heard this on Boston television and let me know right
away. I am passing along the news equally quickly in belief that most
of our readers would want to know as soon as possible.

Brad Delp has been playing on one of our local radio stations a lot
lately in spots promoting an appearance by his band, Beatlejuice, at
Keene High School in nearby Keene, New Hampshire. I was not able to
go, but I believe the concert was held very recently.

One did not need to listen really closely to the tapes promoting the
Keene show to understand why Delp's Beatlejuice performances have been
widely acclaimed. He sounded fantastic. In fact, he sounded a good
deal more than fantastic. It really was startling how close his voice
could match John Lennon in one song and then Paul McCartney in the next.

Brad Delp held a slightly unusual distinction in relation to this
operation. I have mentioned this at least a couple times before. He
was the subject of one of the greatest rock 'n' roll photos I have
ever seen. I really don't think it would be any exaggeration at all
to call this photograph perfect. It was shot at an appearance by his
band, Boston, at Boston Garden. I believe the picture was taken by a
member of the Boston Globe staff. That photo has appeared in my mind
countless times over the years. And since our WKVT-AM started running
the Beatlejuice sound clips, Delp's Beatles voices have been running
through my head.

"Remember I'll always be true."

I will not forget it now.

May Brad Delp rest in peace.
