Viv Savage - Spinal Tap

GoFish

He had a good time ... all the time.

Sad news that David "Kaff" Kafinetti died in his sleep aged 79, last Friday.

David lived in Folkestone. Before his stint in Tap he was a member of prog outfir Rarebird. He also reportedly played sessions with Chuck Berry in 1972.

It doesn't seem that he was due to be in the new film, which is awfully sad.

RIP David

Sympathy is what we need.

I didn't realise that he was actually a musician! I guess that role got him quite a bit of fame! 

RIP David

Quite a bit of perspective. Cheers, Dave.

Too much perspective, sadly.

“Quite exciting, this computer magic.”  

Gawd only knows how many times me and various mates have used that line over the years.

A very accomplished one. One of the two keyboard players in Rare Bird, an excellent and under-rated band.

Here's their original version of Beautiful Scarlet (later covered by Capability Brown). Kaff's keyboard solo from 1:56.

Wow! Loved this, complete wild proggy excess. So many great unknown bands... Who'd be a professional musician.

I use it a lot also - any time anything at work functions properly for the first time.
