R.I.P.: Bruce Langfeld (1962-2007)
Bruce Langfeld, 45, singer-songwriter and guitarist for roots-rock band Bag of Hammers and others in the 1990s, was found dead on Sunday in his Center City apartment.
This one hits pretty close to home. We knew Bruce, played with Bruce and drank with Bruce in the ’90s. He had a caustic wit, a deep sense of loyalty and could play like nobody’s business. He will be dearly missed. Our deepest condolences go out to his friends and family. And if any readers out there would be interested in helping us compile an mp3 salute, please get in touch. Rock on, Bruce. You were about as Philly as they come.

I just heard. A rush of fond memories accompany this sad news. Bruce was the kind of guy I would not see for three years, bump into and we’d immediately make plans to jam. The last time we played furiously-loud-sloppy rock at the garage he was happy just to be in the moment with the music… no agenda, just joy.
He was one of the real ones: Rock on brother.
xxoo,
