While his is one of the more tragic stories rock'n'roll, a story that every budding musician should know, I'd prefer to celebrate Pete Ham today. So, let's say a prayer for him and his family, then pull out your Badfinger records or CDs or MP3s and turn them up good and loud for the next five days, all the way through his 62nd birthday.

You don't have any Badfinger records? Tsk, tsk...Okay, it's never to late to turn on to Badfinger...here's are couple of great songs to get you started...and there's plenty more on youtube to keep you going...
