July 26 unfortunately also marked the anniversary of two great deaths in music history. Brent Mydland, keyboardist for the Grateful Dead during arguably the band's most successful era, died from a drug overdose on July 26, 1990 at age 37. JJ Cale, a largely under-appreciated singer/songwriter whose compositions have been covered by artists such as Eric Clapton, Phish, Jerry Garcia, Lynyrd Skynyrd and more, died of heart failure on July 26, 2013 at age 74.
