Members ggm1960 Posted June 26, 2011 Members Share Posted June 26, 2011 I saw this in the guitar squid e-mail, amputated up to the knee as a complication of diabetes. That's a bummer! Best wishes to Leslie and his family as he undergoes an extensive rehab. http://guitarsquid.com/Squid_Picks/June2011/leslie-west.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rjt Posted June 26, 2011 Members Share Posted June 26, 2011 That is grim. I saw Mountain as the warm up for Tull in 1970 in Pittsburgh....once in Philly after that. Also saw West, Bruce and Laing. I still get "Nantucket Sleigh Ride" or "Theme to an Imaginary Western" stuck in my head. Diabetes is a killer in many, many ways. Best to Leslie and his family.

Members philbo Posted June 27, 2011 Members Share Posted June 27, 2011 Total bummer.... I saw the re-united Mountain at the Summerfest in Milwaukee 3 or 4 years ago, and they were most excellent (but REALLY loud). My best wishes to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Lee Knight Posted June 27, 2011 Moderators Share Posted June 27, 2011 I thought with the weight loss that wouldn't be an issue. Bummer. Good luck to you Mr. West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
