Just out of curiosity, does anyone here know what happened to Rick Laird AFTER his stint with Mahavishnu?

I always thought that he was a fantastic bassist, but I'm not familiar with anything he did in later years. To be honest, I don't even know if he's still alive!!

Any tidbits of info would be cool!!

funny you mentioned him. i was talking up Mahavishnu to some "metal-kid" the other day. Trying to convince him that Laird and McLauhglin were incredible...as well as Cobham and Corea. he just shrygged and shuffled off in his baggy jeans and limp bizkit hat.

There was an article on Rick Laird in the November '99 issue of BP.. appropriately titled, "Where Are They Now: Rick Laird." It's on page 10.
