Guy LeBlanc, R.I.P.

On April 27th, Guy LeBlanc passed away, aged only 54. Known to many as a latter-day keyboard player for CAMEL and to prog aficionados as a mastermind of NATHAN MAHL, we’ve been in touch sporadically for many years – Guy one of of the first to send his album, "Parallel Eccentricities", for review on this site – and it was always a pleasure to talk to him. One of the last time we chatted, the Canadian shared his sadness about the death of one of his idols, Ray Manzarek, and he hoped he’d beat cancer just like his friend Andy Latimer did. A nice person and a top-notch musician, LeBlanc will be sorely missed.
