There was already a thread on this but it was arbitrarily closed for rather pedantic reasons.

But I'm not much of a pop music aficionado, that said, for some reason, Neil's music always seemed to strike a happy cord with me as a youth and I'm kinda sorry he's gone but happy he made it to 86.

Neil Sedaka was Andy Summers' first boss/employer when Summers returned to England after graduating from California State University, Northridge, with a degree in guitar in the early 1970s.

The advance Summers got paid for the gig enabled him to buy an amplifier.

Summers played at Sedaka's concert at the Royal Albert Hall in 1974.

Sedaka was 86 years old. Summers is 83.

It's so hard to imagine Andy being in his 80's.

86. That's a good run.

It's so hard to imagine Andy being in his 80's.

I know, right?!

And he's still going at it!

I used to wonder if he would ever "retire".

He just recently said he's going to keep going until they take him away!

AM radio the 70s wouldn't have been the same without him
