Nick Simper was bassist with MkI Deep Purple from its inception to
1969, when he was replaced by Roger Glover in a typically badly
handled personnel shuffle. Indeed Gillan and Glover were rehearsing
with Blackmore, Lord and Paice while Simper and the then singer Rod
Evans were still gigging.<p>

While never quite hitting those glorious days again, Simper has
continued to play and there is some great new stuff about to
happen. You'll see it here first for sure!<p>

In the mean time, and pending a full history, here are some pieces to
whet your appetite:

<strong>Why didn't Rosemary?</strong><p>
Well here's my views, I always lose<br>
Things I want to do are yesterday's news<br>
Say life's a ball, I've had it all<br>
Out there in another dance hall<br>
Lying there waiting, waiting for the kill<br>
Oh man won't do it, but the devil will<br>
