Sad to hear.
Jefferson Airplane guitarist, vocalist and founding member Paul Kantner has died. He was 74.

Kantner died Thursday (Jan. 28) of multiple organ failure. He had suffered a heart attack earlier in the week. Kantner's publicist confirmed the news with the San Francisco Chronicle.

From 1965-1972, Jefferson Airplane was a pioneer in the Bay Area counterculture psychedelic rock scene, first defining what became known as the "San Francisco sound."

Kantner and guitarist and vocalist Marty Balin formed the band in a bar called the Drinking Gourd, intending the group to be a folk-rock group.

I lived down the road from their house on Fulton Ave. in San Francisco, it was always fun to see/hear the band!
