We've all been mourning since March 25th after learning about the untimely death of Taylor Hawkins. In memory of Taylor Hawkins here are our conversations with Stevie Salas and Sass Jordan. They both talked about Taylor Hawkins with fondness and love. To Stevie, Taylor was his younger brother that he always loved. Through all the highs and all the lows. Sass was the same way. Sass even had the chance on many occasions to sing with Taylor and the rest of the boys in Foo Fighters.We're all going to miss seeing Taylor Hawkins play live at a Foo Fighters show. Gregg and I are also going to miss dreaming about Taylor Hawkins coming on our show one day.We miss you Taylor. May you rest in peace.Photo: Wikimedia Commonshttps://welcometothemusic.com/sass-jordan/https://welcometothemusic.com/stevie-salas-rumble-the-indians-who-rocked-the-world/

Formed in 1980, an intrepid young band from Burlington Ontario would soon make "Spoons" a different kind of household word...Together with Derrick Ross and Rob Preuss, Gord Deppe and Sandy Horne would help define the sound of pop and New Wave in the 80's, with hits including "Nova Heart", "Romantic Traffic", "Old Emotions" and "Tell No Lies".​Their album "Arias & Symphonies" would go on to be named one of the 20 Most Influential Albums of The 80's by "the Chart" Magazine, and their song "Nova Heart" was recently included in Bob Mersereau's book "the Top 100 Canadian Singles of All Time"...The retro 80s movement, now almost a decade old, shows no signs of slowing down. Not one bit. And as far as Sandy, Gord, and a lot of fans are concerned, that is a very good thing indeed.Visit https://www.spoonsmusic.com/merchandise to buy their classic and latest releases!
