Little big man

img_1515.JPG

After just 3 months of playing with the Yardbirds, Evan left the band to put together another super group for one album – “Songs of Calvary” which included Sharon Loydean on bass, Peggy Moore on accordion and John Wesley on lead guitar. It was a personal album and included songs of faith and healing. At ten, Evan had been in the rock world for 6 years, written a handful of classics, experimented with height-altering drugs and started his own charity foundation to provide musical instruments to earthquake victims. Shortly after the album’s release, the band’s tour bus was hit by a train and tragically the whole band was killed. His jacket and bow tie, found among the wreckage, are on display at the Hard Rock Cafe in Cleveland. – Wikipedia
