Last member of the trio to pass away.

As angels, they are all now Stone Free to do as they please.

RIP. He certainly lived though an interesting "Experience," although I think this graf in the AP story is off just a bit ..

"Hendrix, Redding and Mitchell held their first rehearsal in October 1996, according to the Hall of Fame's Web site."

Angels? You're assuming quite a bit for a rocker from the 60s.

Jeez Hondo, go listen to the New Christy Minstrels somewhere else.

Next to Moon, Mitchell was one of the most innovative drummers of his time.

RIP.

I recommend the BBC Sessions set for a good sense of what Mr. Mitchell was about.
