He was one hell of a nice guy! I really liked working with them.
He is going to be sorely missed!

Say what you will about the Power Pop genre, their album "Get The Knack" was awesome. It got me through my senior year of high school.

Feb 14, 2010 11:37 pm Man that's too bad, 57 is too young to go. I wasn't a big fan of The Knack, but I think most myself included dug My Sharrona, ... sad

Feb 15, 2010 06:28 am Very sad.
Dig My Sharona or not, most of us only hope of having as successful of a song...I did dig it myself.
Feb 15, 2010 11:39 am I remember very clearly when I first heard them. They made an impression with their fresh sound. I purchased both Cars Candy-O and Get the Knack at the same time on 8-track none the less - lol.
RIP

Good Girls Don't - The Knack
She's your adolescent dream,
Schoolboy stuff, a sticky sweet romance.
And she makes you want to scream,
Wishing you could get inside her pants.
So, you fantasize away.
And while you're squeezing her, you thought you heard her saying...
"Good girls don't,
Good girls don't,
She'll be tellin' you,
Good girls don't, but I do."
So, you call her on the phone
To talk about the teachers that you hate.
And she says she's all alone,
And her parents won't be coming home til late.
There's a ringing in your brain,
Cause you could've sworn you though you heard her saying...
"Good girls don't,
Good girls don't,
She'll be tellin' you,
Good girls don't, but I do."
And it's a teenage sadness
Everyone has got to taste.
An in-between age madness
That you know you can't erase
Til she's sitting on your face.
You're alone with her at last,
And you're waiting til you think the time is right.
Cause you've heard she's pretty fast.
And you're hoping that she'll give you some tonight.
So, you start to make your play,
Cause you could've sworn you thought you heard her saying...
"Good girls don't,
Good girls don't,
She'll be tellin' you,
Good girls don't, but I do."
And it's a teenage sadness
Everyone has got to taste.
An in-between age madness
That you know you can't erase
Til she's sitting on your face.
Good girls don't,
Good girls don't,
She'll be tellin' you,
Good girls don't, but I do...

Feb 19, 2010 06:36 pm Yep, he'll be missed for sure. And ya, I dug the Knack, I'll say it out loud.
And tonight a friend of dB and myself will be playing My Sharona for a one time shot. No practice or anything, to honor his passing. Just gonna rip it out. I'll be there diggin' it.
