Bob Brunning's Passing
The papers are reporting that Bob Brunning has passed away yesterday, at the age of 68. His first wife Sujatin Elspeth Johnson confirmed his death on October 18, 2011, in an email to me. Mr. Brunning had 2 children with Sujatin Johnson, Simon and Rachel.
He also had a son Daniel, with his second wife Halina. He had six grandchildren. A blogger has prepared a nice tribute to Bob Brunning here: http://www.roybaintonwrites.com/2011...done-gone.html |

We've never had to say that before about a member of Fleetwood Mac.

It's depressing that they're getting older. One day we'll have to say it again.

RIP Bob. While his impact on Fleetwood Mac was minimal, his contribution to British blues over the years was enjoyable.
Thank you so much to Wetcamelfood for getting me into Bob Brunning's music and all those albums that I would never have had the opportunity to hear otherwise. I have spent many a happy time listening to Brunning Sunflower Blues Band or The De Luxe Blues Band. While they never made it to stardom, they were an excellent band that produced some wonderful music. The only video I could find that featured BB on bass (somewhere over in the corner) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaFKZ...feature=colike

Very sad news about Bob - I like his music and writing. Krzysztof P.S. I didn't know Bob's wife comes from Poland.
