This is intended to be a homage to very many musicians I've loved since I started listening to music. My intention is to tell what I know about them, hoping that those people who like them too, will help me fill numerous gaps, which I may have in their careers and discographies. Sorry, but there are no MP3 audio files here at all, just info (and love for the musicians).

    PROCOL HARUM


    New life for the mythical band when Brooker starts the band again in August 1991 (after their separation in 1977). Tim Renwick was asked to play in the USA tour promoting the album Prodigal stranger, as Robin Trower wasn't interested in touring. Mark Brzezicki is the chosen one for the very difficult task of getting the sticks (after their great drummer, B.J. Wilson, sadly died):

    êDr Feelgood
    Gary Brooker
    vocals, keyboards
    Matthew Fisher
    keyboards
    +
    Keith Reid
    lyrics

    But in December 1991, Renwick left (being replaced by the incredible Geoff Whitehorn).

    In January 1992, Geoff Whitehorn joins Procol Harum (where he still plays, appearing in almost every reunion by the band since then) after Tim Renwick leaves the band:

    Jan 92-Apr 92
    Gary Brooker
    vocals, keyboards

    They played a long tour in 1992, but Matthew Fisher didn't stay for long this time, leaving in April 1992.

    Don Snow replaces Matthew Fisher in Procol Harum in May 1992:

    lyrics

    Also that same month, they went to play again with Edmonton Symphony Orchestra (the same orchestra they used for recording their live album from 1971, with Dave Ball on guitar).

    After finishing the tour, Dave Bronze comes back to Dr. Feelgood in June 1992.

    AND MORE...


    He has also played with Blodwyn Pig, Chris Farlowe, Ray Davies and Leo Sayer, but I still have to find details.

    He has recorded with Roger Daltrey, Duane Eddy, Belinda Carlisle and Bryan Ferry.

    And he also turned down the offer to join Pink Floyd!

    Apart from all the facts I've told, I shouldn't forget that Dave usually plays in all the Lee Brilleaux tribute concerts celebrated along these years since his death. There, most of past and present members reunite to play Feelgood music, plus some friends and fans (such as Snowy White).
