Big Brother Guitarist Passes

James Gurley, longtime guitarist for Big Brother and the Holding Company, passed away a few days back.

Big Brother in the past year or so played the Narrows, without James and, of course, without Janis Joplin, who became the band's voice, taking it to international stardom. Apparently James split with Big Brother among some nastiness.

To read some remembrances from several band members, visit the band's website here.
