       Yes we are. I was under a mistaken  belief that Alex was still alive 
and playing blues. I wonder, what did he pass  from? He was too young to go 
like that. Didn't one of his guitar players play  with Nazereth? His last name 
was Mekenna I think. I loved that keyboard player  too, Alex had a great band.

Hi Guys,  are we talking about the " Sensational Alex Harvey Band" here? If 
so Alex  Harvey is no more having passed a while back. However, his guitarist 
 
Mathew Cang lives close by and has his own studio where he is producing  some 
wonderful stuff. Look out for a project he has been doing with  (previously 
Chicago based now living in Queensland, Australia) harp  player, Doc Span. 
Doc has been around for a while and spent some time in  the US Navy and 
subsequently worked as a medic in the prison in Chicago.  His experiences in 
both have made for some interesting lyrics. His harp  playing however....... 
wonderful..!!
