RIP Dave Cousins Rick Wakeman posted a heartfelt tribute to Dave Cousins on his website, rwcc.com, reflecting on their long musical history and friendship. It began with a 1969 recording session and led to Rick joining Strawbs during a pivotal time when the band helped shape electric folk. Rick wrote: "Dave had a wonderful gift of writing great melodic melodies which fitted his lyrics perfectly and were a joy to play on... I can remember listening to ‘A Glimpse of Heaven’ for the first time on acoustic guitar as we sat in his cottage in Devon and he related how he had written the song on the cliffs at Sidmouth." Rick also recalled their final performance together—an unrehearsed but moving rendition of A Glimpse of Heaven at Trading Boundaries in 2024, now available on video: A Glimpse Of Heaven - Dave Cousins and Rick Wakeman live at Trading Boundaries in 2024 "Dave now truly has a real ‘Glimpse of Heaven’." – Rick Wakeman, July 14, 2025
