Drummer Ed Cassidy
May 4, 1923- Dec 7, 2012

He had jammed with such jazz greats as Dexter Gordon and Chet Baker before teaming with Randy California, his guitar-playing stepson from another marriage, to form what became the Los Angeles based band Spirit. Cassidy was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s oldest performing rock ’n’ roll drummer. He had long been nicknamed "Mr. Skin" for his bald head.
