Darrell Anthony Sweet

It was ten years ago today that Nazareth drummer Darrell Anthony Sweet suffered a fatal heart attack in Indiana while on tour, after playing in the band since 1968 (that's 41 years at the same job, people)...which would probably break Cal Ripken's record.

5/16/47-4/30/99

You gotta love Nazareth's interpretation of this Joni Mitchell ballad - yes, I said ballad...



Rock on, Darrell!

My math could be fuzzy but that's 31 years, not 41.
