RIP Mike Porcaro - Ruby - 16-03-2015
The middle of Toto's Porcaro brothers, bassist Michael has died. He passed away yesterday having had to retire from playing in 2007 as a result of Lou Gehrig's - a crippling auto immune disease - he was 59. Rest in peace.

Indeed. Another underrated player because of the group and genre he chose. ALS will be successfully combatted someday; meanwhile...
His brother Jeff died in '92. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Porcaro << Is there another as-accomplished family in American pop music? I don't think so.
