Don's playing on Difficult To Cure made a major impact on me, as I was starting with guitar, and keys had no good reputation in Rock back then. I later became a keyboardist because I couldn't get that Hammond solo out of my mind for years. What a great player!
We wrote on his website or somewhere in like guitar world i think i read that he went up in the plane and they came back down he got off and randy got on and he took pictures of them in the air and stuff. Really sad stuff
Honestly, there is nothing left to say about that plane crash, that hasn't already been said. Don was there and saw the whole thing. I think he was the only one to see it. Word has it that Randy was trying to take over the controls as the plane was about to crash. That's whats sad.
Yes, "Love Shine a Light", winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 1997, performed by Katrina and the Waves. Don Airey, who had played as a session musician on the single recording of the song, arranged and conducted the orchestra on the night of the Eurovision 1997 final held on 3 May 1997 at Point Theatre, Dublin which was broadcast on TV worldwide.
He really got a bum deal. There's a lot of keyboards on those first two Ozzy records. No one really knew who played those parts. Especially Mr Crowley.
