A Son of the Rock

I saw on the internet that guitarist Bernie Marsden had died and yesterday read his obituary in the Guardian.

He had a varied career in numerous bands but is most remembered for being a member of Whitesnake when that band first appeared on the scene.

Heavy metal isn’t really my thing but this, Whitesnake’s first real UK hit and which Marsden co-wrote, is not by any means over the top.

Whitesnake: Fool For Your Loving

Bernard John Marsden: 7/5/1951 – 24/8/2023. So it goes.
