RONNIE MONTROSE RIP

Over the weekend, we lost yet another musical heavyweight in guitarist Ronnie Montrose. Anyone into hard rock during the 70's will remember his self-named band that gave Sammy Hagar his first break; he was also an in-demand session player that contributed to notable albums from the likes of Edgar Winter Group and Van Morrison.

Arena rock was extremely prevalent during the late 70's and early 80's, and another band that Ronnie fronted during this time that I particularly liked was Gamma. In tribute to Ronnie, please keep an ear out for their two charting singles here on The Retro Attic: 1980's "I'm Alive" and 1982's "Right The First Time."

Rest in peace Ronnie, and don't worry...as long as someone plays one of your albums, there will always be "Good Rockin' Tonight" here on Earth!
