    And he was still kicking for another 9 years. RIP Wilko.

    Roger Daltrey is the nicest, most fundamentally decent person you could ever hope to meet or work with. I worked with him once when he was working as an actor and as it happened our location was a music shop. Between takes as we were setting up Roger picked up a guitar and entertained the younger actors with "The Kids Are Alright." They didn't know what they were listening to but I wept tears of joy.

    Daltrey seems like a warm, kind, bloke who wanted to help his friend. Daltrey has a sense of life and wicked gallows sense of humor. Wilko is lucky to have Daltrey and lucky to a surgeon fan who finally diagnosed him correctly.

    Its a tremendous album. It has an incredible feel to it like Roger said and its not from the instruments or the sound board. It comes from the band members heart and soul. Every time I listen to it I think this is my favorite album of all time. It always moves me🔥❤️

    Roger’s voice has enough gravel in it now that he could sing blues til he’s 80. Great pairing. Great record.

    Roger Daltrey always gives interesting, entertaining, animated interviews. They reflect a genuine, fascinating, multi-faceted character with bags of life experience, humanity and great sense of fun and humour who loves life and enriches ours.

    Daltrey was originally lead guitar in previous versions of the Who but opted for vocals. Many of their tracks have overdubbed acoustic guitar, you can certainly hear it on Pinball Wizard and Magic Bus

    A calling from God to work with Wilko before passing.
    Reference to Mick Green who was asked to join Elvis Presley's band but Mick's manager never told him about the suggestion so Elvis never happened.
    See Mick in action in Jonny and the Pirates this playing style influences Wilko who could never copy Mick but developed his own wonderful style.

Saw him last week perform Tommy with Nashville Symphony in blistering heat soaked in sweat and did it as if it were 65 degrees and energy to spare & plenty of it. Yeah in my book the most hard working and least pretentious. A working mans hero.
