Brad Delp was a friend of mine. In fact, anyone who ever met the famed rocker could say the same thing. It wasn’t just me. Brad always made you feel like you had been a friend for years.

DANVERS - Yesterday, Robert Raiche recalled the afternoon in the mid-1960s when a group of boys bicycled into his Danvers driveway to ask him for help.
The leader of the pack was young Brad Delp, who asked Raiche, then the Salem YMCA director, to help their fledgling teenage band learn to get along, and get established. Raiche didn't know anything about the music business, but he volunteered himself as manager of The Monks, drove them to their gigs - since they didn't have driver's licenses yet - and watched the group blossom into a local hit.

I was driving south along Interstate 95 on Saturday afternoon when I flipped the dial and landed on Boston's song, "Rock n' Roll Band."
With the thermometer pushing above 40 degrees, I rolled down the window and started traveling down another road, barreling back to my teen years when my best friend Martha and I wore the grooves out on the band's 1976 first album, "Boston." Every song on that record was a hit.

Brad Delp, who died today at 55, sang many more songs than the eight that fill Boston's first album. "Don't Look Back," of course. Some people love "Amanda." No doubt there are even fans of specifics from Corporate America, from 2002, which may or may not prove to be the band's swan song.

A sign on the front of Johnny D's on Friday declared, "Brad, we miss you.'' Inside, someone had put flowers on the empty stage. Delp's group, Beatle Juice, his side project to his more famous singing role in the mega-platinum band Boston, had canceled that night because Delp was found dead in his New Hampshire home during the afternoon of still-unexplained causes.
