A great musician and friend passed away today. Bobby Lloyd Hicks drumming with Steve Forbert, Lou and Donnie. In the old days. I always liked this clip (no sound) but it shows Lloyd's joy at his kit. Rest in peace Lloyd.

Sad to report that Bobby Lloyd Hicks has passed away. His contributions are too huge to share in this update, we are looking to find out more as the day goes on. Rest in peace Lloyd.
