As a musician and fan of music (along with years of blind, musician “hero worship” behind me), I am totally in the debt of the researcher Dave McGowan. His research into the Laurel Canyon scene (amongst other things) opened my eyes to the true nature of the music industry and the machinations of the global elite. In my own musical working life, I have sometimes encountered bizarre situations and people whose behaviour and attitudes defy all logic and reason. Dave’s research gave me the insight to understand what I may have unwittingly experienced (even from my cursory position on the very outer edges of the music scene) over the last 20 years. During my own research, I have found it reassuring to know that if I ever wanted to confirm some darker or mysterious connection to the Canyon scene I could rely on his tireless and comprehensive research to point me in the right direction. It is therefore a very sad day for me when I should learn that Dave has passed away. His departure into the infinite consciousness will leave a great hole amongst those of us left here. However, his work will always remain. If you haven’t already, please take the time check it out. I huge portion of his research is gathered here: http://www.davesweb.cnchost.com/
