NPRS bassist from approximately 1978-1982 Allen Kemp has passed away from cancer. It is really another sad day!

WOW! What is it about NRPS BASS PLAYERS DYING? first Dave Torbert, then Skip Battin, and now Allen Kemp. Steve Love is still living (last I heard anyway), but isnt that kinda WEIRD? :rolleyes:

Our sympathys go out to his friends and family, of course. RIP Allen Kemp. -theBakerBros.com

My brother pointed out to me that being an NRPS bassist is alot like being a Grateful Dead keyboardist :rolleyes:

Your brother's thought is a sentiment I have expressed for years - the mortality of NRPS bass players is truly scary! Or at least, FORMER NRPS bass players. To my knowledge, nobody ever passed away while employed with the band!!!

I went to high school with Allen Kemp in Aurora, Colorado. Allen was only 64 years old, way too young to die. Allen also played with The Stone Canyon Band (Rick Nelson) and The Poor (Randy Meisner). Godspeed, Allen.

thanks for the post, Ronald.. . definitely to young to die, and John Dawson was also 64 when he died in July. You have to ask yerself, "Whats going on, here?!" Very sad, but at least we still have their music...and memories of them, too...
