Yes… 2016 was not a good year for rock because of the many great artists passing away but it was a great year for Stones fans: tour in Latin America including playing is some countries for the first time, live dates in the USA, many releases of material from the vaults (Totally Stripped, Stones in Mono), new live album and movie (Havana Moon), a great documentary Olé Olé Olé, a great  new studio album, a video with Kristen Stewart, singles, exhibitionism etc

I don’t want to be pessimistic but realistic, wait for a worse year in 2017 in terms of musicians passing, the life expectative in Europe and the USA is 78 years, and if the distribution is normal, many people in between 74 and 82 years will pass next year. So be prepared!

Fortunately, the list for 2017 does not have any of the Stones current members and we will have them rocking live and in the studio, releasing more new stuff and cool stuff from the vaults

This is a normal distribution curve, just imagine that 78 years old is the point in the middle

...

Wish you the best, be successful but specially be happy and make others happy you lovely B&B!

PS. Live your life to the extreme!

I agree, VooDoo.  2017 is going to suck, on many fronts.  It's time to batten down the hatches and hunker in for one FUCKED up year.  And I guarantee there will be no Rapture or return of J. Christ to save this stuff.  It's not in the cards. Fucking 2018 can't get here soon enough.

Mick Jagger's father, Basil, lived to be 93 years old.  Also, Mick Jagger eats healthy and exercises regularly.  He does not smoke or drink alcohol.  He is a happy person with a positive outlook on life!  In other words, he is going to live forever!  Yay!

I'm just trying to stay optimistic and hope with all my might that 2017 will be easier, more fun and with less appearances by the Grim Reaper. Jesus, it has to be. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

Well, this is the sad thing about the arts and culture.  You grow up watching and listening to talented people older than you, maybe even just a couple years older by the time you're a teenager, and you say, "That's what I want to do," or at least you decide that you want to make their work a part of your experience forever.  Sometimes the last part happens whether you intend it to or not.  Then, when you yourself are on the downslope, those people start "returning to nature," as they say - though not always in natural or pleasant ways.  And you feel somewhat betrayed by life.  This happened a bit to my mother when she was in her last years.  Yet 2016 seemed rather heavy-handed as far as star mortality goes, so the sense of betrayal seems a bit less irrational.  When Bowie went, people of all ages seemed to rebel against the very idea of mortality, so great seemed his vitality.

My mother, who died at 70 in 2003, loved Prince in the 1980s, and insisted on my taking her to one of the Purple Rain tour shows.  (At which we saw plenty of older people of all races, accompanied by younger family.)  She'd have been unhappy if he had passed before her, being younger.   She loved Debbie Reynolds, too, and turned me on to Singin' in the Rain.

Myself, I've tried to look at reality, and have steeled my heart a bit toward waking up one day and reading the news - oh, boy - that one of the Stones has passed, or Dylan.  But Bowie in the New Year was a sucker punch, being that the seriousness of his condition was not widely known.  Couple that with Prince by misadventure, and....  In some ways, all of us waking up to read about Bob Dylan's Nobel win was a way of seeing death cheated in this awful year.  But remember...in places like Aleppo, they don't have time for the luxury of such funereal pleasures.

I'm pretty sure Mick enjoys a glass of wine in moderation.

I agree, VooDoo.  2017 is going to suck, on many fronts.  It's time to batten down the hatches and hunker in for one FUCKED up year.  And I guarantee there will be no Rapture or return of J. Christ to save this stuff.  It's not in the cards. Fucking 2018 can't get here soon enough. 


moondrop, believe that shit if you must. I refuse to accept that. 2017 best ever!!

I repeat myself... The whole thread or just Pako Gerrte's forecast?

Death is real and each second it is a second closer, so my guess is that 2017 will have more farewells of rock stars and growing each year until 2023 and then less and less but the highest will be around 2023

Sorry but that’s a rule of life and life is a bitch or a bastard

At least most of these are old and they all left a lot of his Works for us to enjoy, no more "27 Club" etc

Bruce Hampton, 'granddaddy of the jam scene,' dies after gig

By Lisa Respers France and Stephanie Gallman, CNN
Updated 1936 GMT (0336 HKT) May 2, 2017

http://edition.cnn.com/2017/05/02/entertainment/bruce-hampton-obit/

Atlanta (CNN) — Death came for Bruce Hampton as he celebrated his 70th birthday doing what he did best -- jamming on stage.

Hampton, known as the "granddaddy of the jam scene," collapsed on stage while rocking out Monday night during a concert held in his honor in Atlanta.

...

His agent, Micah Davidson of Midwood Entertainment, confirmed to CNN that the musician died. He gave no further details.

Warren Haynes, the Allman Brothers Band guitarist who was on stage performing with Hampton, posted a statement Tuesday on his official Facebook page asking for privacy for Hampton's loved ones.

"After collapsing on stage surrounded by his friends, family, fans and the people he loved, Col. Bruce Hampton has passed away," the statement said. "The family is asking for respect and privacy at this difficult time."

The all-star event, held at Atlanta's Fox Theatre, was billed as "Hampton 70: A Celebration of Col. Bruce Hampton."

The stage was packed with performers -- including Dave Schools of Widespread Panic, Phish drummer Jon Fishman and Rolling Stones keyboardist Chuck Leavell -- when the seasoned musician appeared to take a knee, then lay down as 14-year-old guitarist Brandon "Taz" Niederauer shredded chords on one of Hampton's favorite songs, "Turn on Your Love Light."

Some in the audience thought the guitarist's actions were a part of the show.

Those on stage continued to perform. They included actor Billy Bob Thornton, who cast Hampton in a small role in his critically acclaimed 1996 film "Sling Blade," Blues Traveler frontman John Popper, and Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks of the Tedeschi Trucks Band.

Then people came out from the wings and carried Hampton off stage. The song abruptly ended

An ambulance arrived shortly thereafter and took Hampton away as dozens of fans watched quietly.

Born and raised Gustav Valentine Berglund III in New York City, Hampton was beloved in the music industry as a founding member of the rock blues quintet the Hampton Grease Band, which got its start in Atlanta.

While the band released only one album, "Music to Eat" in 1971, it developed a bit of a cult following, and Hampton went on earn a reputation as one of the best jam musicians in the industry.

He was the subject of a 2012 documentary, "Basically Frightened: The Musical Madness of Colonel Bruce Hampton."

Hampton he gave an interview in 2015 to the site Live For Live Music in preparation for his reunion tour with the Aquarium Rescue Unit.

He spoke of his extensive career, which stretched from playing in bands in the 1970s to doing voice-over work in commercials for brands such as Popeyes fried chicken and Motel 6.

"I was a lasso instructor and a lariat importer, and they were all weird, fleeting jobs," he told the site. "I've been fortunate to do music all my life, and I've done enough acting to make it fun."

Fans, including a few famous ones, grieved Hampton on Tuesday.


"So so sad to say goodbye to the great & wondrous Col. Bruce Hampton," Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes and Chris Robinson Brotherhood told CNN in a statement. "The music world lost one of a kind last night, a true original, a man who heard the light! God speed Col. Bruce, we miss you."

Added longtime friend Oliver Wood of The Wood Brothers, "Just by example, he taught us to challenge our ideas about music and what it's for. Bruce was equal parts prankster and mystic. He was serious about music, but also taught us not to take ourselves too seriously. He was a one of a kind human. What an honor to be with him on his final night."

Vocalist and saxophonist Karl Denson called Hampton "the poet of some undefined movement that all the artists came to for wisdom and clarity."

"Once you connected with him, you felt inspired not to be jive, to know what was important and take chances," Denson said in a statement. "Most of all, he made us supremely happy."

Leavell, the keyboardist who tours with The Rolling Stones and was part of the Allman Brothers Band in the 1970s, said Hampton died doing what he loved.

"A poetic exit," said. "And I'm sure if he had written the script himself, that would've been the last page of the last chapter."

CNN's Jason Morris contributed to this report.

Supposedly good friends with Chris Cornell, and died in the same way on Cornell's birthday. Weird.

Oh no! There goes Tokyo!!





Haruo Nakajima, the First Actor to Play Godzilla, Dies at 88

HONG KONG — Haruo Nakajima, the Japanese actor who played the movie monster Godzilla in a dozen films and whose booming steps in a 200-pound rubber suit sent the denizens of Tokyo running into cinematic history, died on Monday. He was 88.

Mr. Nakajima died of pneumonia, according to his daughter, Sonoe Nakajima.

In 1954, Mr. Nakajima, then a 25-year-old stunt actor who had previously appeared in just four movies, was cast in what are perhaps Japan’s two most famous films of that era. In Akira Kurosawa’s masterpiece, “Seven Samurai,” Mr. Nakajima had only a bit part. But in “Godzilla,” he played the titular character: a gigantic, irradiated lizard whose mutated form and destructive power symbolized the potency of nuclear weapons.



Video by TheSerenityEnd


Mr. Nakajima would eventually don the heavy rubber monster costume 12 times from 1954 to 1972, turning Japan’s postwar nuclear anxieties into an international phenomenon.

In an era before computer-generated effects, the international success of Godzilla kicked off Japan’s golden age of tokusatsu, or “special-filming” movies, in which rubber-costumed actors typically destroyed scale-model sets.

“We had to improvise, and make it all look real on screen,” Mr. Nakajima told The New York Times in a 2013 interview.

In that interview, Mr. Nakajima recalled Godzilla’s creator, Eiji Tsuburaya, struggling amid Japan’s postwar shortages and rationing to find enough rubber and latex to construct the costume.

“You don’t learn this from a textbook but by doing,” Mr. Nakajima said of those early days. “There is no chance to learn now.”

At the end of a day of shooting, Mr. Nakajima would later recall, he typically sweat so much inside the hot, heavy suit and beneath the soundstage’s bright lights that he was able to wring enough sweat from his undershirt to fill half a bucket.

To perfect the monster’s notoriously destructive gait, Mr. Nakajima spent hours at the zoo, studying how elephants and bears walked. In interviews, the actor said that he had wanted to make sure the monster was believable and to enable viewers to connect with it on an emotional level.

Mr. Nakajima was born in Yamagata, Japan, on New Year’s Day in 1929. He was 16 when Japan surrendered to the Allies at the end of World War II and appeared in his first credited role in “Sword for Hire” in 1952, when he was 23.

As a contract actor for the Japanese studio Toho, Mr. Nakajima starred in dozens of other monster movies, including as King Kong in the 1967 film version.

He retired from acting in 1973 and is reported to have briefly taken a job at the bowling alley on the Toho studio lot. Beginning in the 1990s, he made frequent appearances at conventions for comic book and movie fans.

“Godzilla,” the first film in the franchise, was released nine years after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and was a not-so-thinly-veiled fable about the dangers of nuclear weapons.

“One might regard him as a symbol of Japanese hate for the destruction that came out of nowhere and descended upon Hiroshima one pleasant August morn,” The Times wrote in a 1956 review of “Godzilla: King of the Monsters,” the English-dubbed version of the film released in North America. “But we assure you that the quality of the picture and the childishness of the whole idea do not indicate such a calculation. Godzilla was simply meant to scare people.”

Mr. Nakajima was the first iteration of Godzilla to scare people, but not the last. Toho produced 27 more Godzilla films after Mr. Nakajima hung up his rubber suit in 1972. Since then, Hollywood has produced three “Godzilla” movies. The next in the franchise will star Ken Watanabe and is scheduled for release in 2019.

I have the "tago mago" and the "ege bamyasi" albums since they came out, never bought another but recorded in tapes many others... later albums were not good in my opinion, too much for me. Quit buying; just recently I bought some new editions of unreleased stuff from that era, great band and great musicians

Mark E Smith: British rock's cult hero



By Ian Youngs
Arts & entertainment reporter



...
Mark E Smith was regarded as a poet and a flawed genius by his devoted fans


Mark E Smith, the snarling singer and single-minded leader of Manchester post-punk group The Fall, was a rock hero whose drinking and fighting - as well as his ragged but rare musical artistry - became the stuff of legend.




Over the past 40 years, great bands have come and gone. Musical trends have waxed and waned.

But The Fall - basically Mark E Smith and whoever he hadn't fallen out with at the time - remained belligerently immoveable as the unfashionable but unshrinking mob in the shadows of the music scene.

In that time, he hired and fired more than 60 bandmates and released 30 albums of music that normally featured frayed, repetitive guitars and Smith's caustic stream of semi-consciousness.

His pronounced sing-slur made him unlike any other frontman, and he inspired devotion among fans who were drawn to his singular presence and rambling poetry.



...
Mark E Smith with then-wife and bandmate Brix on The Tube in 1985


Mark Edward Smith grew up with a love of literature and named his band after an Albert Camus novel.

He had been a shipping clerk at Salford docks but was inspired to take music seriously after watching a now-legendary gig by The Sex Pistols in Manchester.

"When I first saw The Pistols at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in 76, I thought, my lot are not as bad as that," he wrote in his 2008 autobiography Renegade. "We're better."

He paid for his band's rehearsal space by playing pool and doing tarot readings, and their debut album, Live at the Witch Trials, came out in 1979.

It got good reviews, but Smith thought it had been misunderstood. "They thought it was too serious, overlooking the humour of it all," he said. "That's the story of my life, actually."



...


He says he turned down deals with record labels Virgin and Factory, but found a home - for a few years - with indie stable Rough Trade.

He also found a champion in BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, who called The Fall "the band against which all others are judged". When all the band's Peel Sessions were compiled and released as a box set in 2004, they ran to seven hours.

Between 1984 and 2004, 27 songs by The Fall reached the top 100 of the UK singles chart.

Only two went higher than number 40, though, and they were both covers - There's A Ghost In My House and Victoria.



...
Smith's third wife Elena Poulou was in the band from 2002-16


But some of their songs reached mainstream consciousness, such as 1988's Hit The North, whose howl of pride is about as catchy as The Fall got and made it a sort of national anthem for the north of England, being played at the home of Smith's beloved Manchester City FC.

Another track, Theme From Sparta FC, was used to introduce the football scores on BBC television - leading Smith to be invited to read the classified results in his distinctive drawl one Saturday afternoon.

And Hip Priest (with the repeated wailed lyric "he-ee-ee's not appreciated") was used in the soundtrack of The Silence of the Lambs.

But perhaps more famous than any of their songs is the fact that Smith got through so many bandmates over the years.



...
"If it's me and yer granny on bongos, it's The Fall"


He was the only constant member and Wikipedia has an intricate graph showing the tenures of all the musicians who came and went over four decades.

Explaining that it mattered little who else was in the group, he once said: "If it's me and yer granny on bongos, it's The Fall."

The past band members included Marc Riley, who went on to become a BBC 6 Music DJ - who Smith sacked on his wedding day.

Smith was an autocrat as well as an auteur. "It's a bit like a football team," he once said of his management style. "Every so often you have to get rid of the centre-forward."

The singer said he got rid of Riley because he didn't like the fact Riley was questioning the writing credits, or the fact he danced to Deep Purple in a nightclub while on an Australia tour in 1982.

He told him: "Get in the hotel, and stay there till I tell you. You don't need to be dancing to Smoke on the Water." A fist fight ensued.

Riley told the Guardian he was sacked for hitting Smith back after the singer punished the band for an "average" gig by slapping each musician in turn.



...
The Fall released almost a studio album a year on average


At an infamous show in New York in 1998, there was another "onstage disagreement" - as Smith put it - with the band.

"They all started throwing punches," he wrote in his book. "But I gave them a few left hooks back. They got worse than they gave me." The singer ended the night in jail.

Even if he did end up on the losing side, that didn't alter the fact that, in his eyes, whatever the quarrel, he was always right.

So he didn't see anything wrong with his lifelong heavy drinking.

"If anybody says to me I've got a problem with the drink, I tell them I do have a problem - like where to get it from after 11 o'clock," he once said.

"I've stopped drinking anyway - stopped half an hour ago."

There has never been anyone quite like Mark E Smith in British music, and there never will be again.

I found The Fall utterly unlistenable but Smith was a wonderfully unique hilarious curmudgeon.  I just cant help but like someone so arrogant that he dismissed Bob Dylan by claiming that 'he can't write for toffee'

Belfast punk impresario Terri Hooley shared this surreal story by the NME's Stuart Bailie on facebook earlier about an incident a few years ago when a Fall gig in Belfast got cancelled at the eleventh hour - a night when about 200 people tried to tip the tour bus over after the show was called off and the venue manager handed Smith a mop and bucket and ordered him to clean up his dressing room after he'd trashed it by smashing a bottle of tomato ketchup against the wall....



WHAT A CORK-UP!: TOUR FALLS APART


The immediate future of THE FALL is in doubt after MARK E SMITH sacked his band following a spectacular, drink-fuelled bust-up in Belfast last Saturday evening (November 8). The band's gig at the Empire Music Hall that night was subsequently cancelled mere minutes before stagetime. Uncertainty also surrounds the 15 outstanding dates on the band's current UK tour.

Smith reportedly arrived at Belfast's Empire in poor spirits. The venue's stage manager, Mark Erskine, told NME: "He was giving the band hell. He walked off the tourbus, straight onto the stage and started kicking stuff about and decking mikes. He sacked the band and they went." Smith also upset the staff of the venue by flinging a bottle of ketchup against a backstage door. The manager, Mike Gatt, gave Smith a mop and ordered him to clean it up.

In an attempt to try to calm the singer, staff at the venue rang Terry Hooley, founder of Belfast's Good Vibrations record label. Hooley promoted The Fall's early gigs in the city and has remained in touch with Smith ever since.
According to Hooley, Smith had been drinking champagne and was difficult to reason with. At one stage, Hooley grabbed the singer by the neck to restrain him. The singer thought he was about to get punched, and asked if he could remove his false teeth first. Hooley removed his own glass eye instead. "I'm not gonna hit you," Hooley insisted.

Smith then hit upon the idea of going onstage and playing an a cappella set of Beach Boys covers with Hooley and another friend. Smith called the Empire the next day, looking for his passport and a collection of demo tapes. He told the manager that he would try to make amends at a later date. A Fall spokesman told NME: "This has surprised us as much as it probably surprised Mark. This might end up being resolved although I'm sure he did sack them at the time. As long as he regains his passport, the tour will continue in typically maverick Fall fashion, even as a solo acoustic show!"

Robert Arthur, Man Behind the Music on 'The Ed Sullivan Show,' Dies at 89


by Mike Barnes



...
Courtesy of Robert Arthur

From left: Robert Arthur, producer Bob Precht and Ed Sullivan in 1968 on the set of the variety show.



The songwriter-composer worked with all the artists, including The Rolling Stones, and adjusted the lyrics to "Let's Spend the Night Together."




Robert Arthur, the longtime music coordinator on The Ed Sullivan Show who famously tweaked the lyrics to "Let's Spend the Night Together" so The Rolling Stones could perform in 1967 on the iconic CBS variety show, has died. He was 89.

Arthur died Jan. 21 at his Topanga Canyon home in Los Angeles, his wife, Jeanne, told The Hollywood Reporter.

A songwriter and composer, Arthur worked with newspaper columnist-turned-TV host Ed Sullivan from 1952, when he was hired to assist the Toast of the Town music director, until The Ed Sullivan Show (thus renamed in 1955) departed the airwaves for good on June 6, 1971.

As a vital behind-the-scenes player on the Sunday night staple, Arthur handled all the music for Sullivan, arranging and composing songs for and working with such guests as The Beatles, Judy Garland, Sly Stone, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Ella Fitzgerald, Elvis Presley, Kate Smith, Count Basie, Perry Como, Bill Haley & His Comets, Harry James, Diana Ross, Itzhak Perlman, Edith Piaf, The Platters, The Vienna Boys' Choir, Connie Francis, Bo Diddley, Mitzi Gaynor — and that's just a sample.

"Ed's main interest was in booking the show and finding the acts. … It was sort of up to us to figure out exactly what that person might do on the show," Arthur told Vanity Fair's Nick Tosches in 1997.

The Stones, who had been on the show before, were booked for Jan. 15, 1967, and wanted to perform a new song, the sexually charged (well, in those days, at least) "Let's Spend the Night Together." That line would not go over well with the CBS censors.

"Well, at that time, that was absolutely … it would be like saying, 'Fuck, fuck, fuck.' People's eyes would roll in their heads at the network," Arthur said. "So I was sent to deal with them, because I was also a songwriter … and I came up with a phrase that was almost the same thing and sounded almost the same, and it was, 'Let's spend some time together.' Mick Jagger agreed."

Jagger appeared to roll his eyes as he sang the substituted line, and one wonders how many in the screaming audience noticed the difference.

Arthur was born in New York on May 10, 1928, in the Queens neighborhood of Flushing. He learned to play the piano as a youngster, and at Colgate University, he majored in economics and Spanish and wrote two musicals.

After graduation in 1949, he became an accompanist, conductor and arranger, then served as a bayonet instructor during the Korean War. Back in New York, Arthur was hired by famed arranger and orchestra conductor Ray Bloch to work on the CBS shows hosted by Sullivan and Jackie Gleason.

After the end of the Sullivan program, Arthur moved to Los Angeles, where he helped Dick Clark launch the American Music Awards. He also produced videos that Michael Jackson showed during his concerts; co-wrote the Natalie Cole hit "All About Love;" and had his tunes performed by Tony Bennett and Johnny Mathis.

In addition to his wife of 20 years, survivors include his son Adam; brother Peter; sisters-in-law Anne and Elisabeth; and niece Jacqueline. His wife asks that in lieu of flowers, a donation be made to a favorite charity.

RIP Jim Rodford (Kinks, Animals II, Zombies, Argent) [1941-2018]


Jim Rodford - 1941-2018 Obituary: The Kinks and Zombies bassist

JIM Rodford may have spent the majority of his career as a member of The Kinks but, amazingly, playing the bass in one of Britain’s most iconic bands for 18 years was not his most significant musical achievement.

...

He was also a founding member of the rock group Argent, playing with them from 1969 until 1976 and performing on their hits God Gave Rock And Roll To You and Hold Your Head Up, which reached No 5 in the singles charts on both sides of the Atlantic and sold more than a million copies.

But it is as the “hidden” driving force behind 1960s psychedelic group The Zombies that he was most infl uential.

Despite declining an invitation to join the band set up by his cousin Rod Argent in 1958, Rodford was instrumental in their development, lending them equipment and even helping Argent with their breakthrough 1964 hit She’s Not There.

That band’s 1968 album Odessey And Oracle was later voted as one of the best 100 albums of all time by Rolling Stone magazine.

When The Zombies broke up the following year, Argent again looked to Rodford, with the pair using Argent’s name for their new band.

...

After they disbanded he joined The Kinks in 1978, becoming an integral member of the group for 18 years until their retirement in 1996.

Following his death, The Kinks’ Dave Davies tweeted: “I’m just devastated... I’m too broken up to put words together it’s such a shock... great friend great musician great man – he was an integral part of The Kinks’ later years.”

Born in St Albans, James Walter Rodford took up the bass as a teenager, forming popular skifflegroup The Bluetones with some of his mates from the local Pioneer Club.

It was due to this band’s success that he turned down Argent’s pleas to join The Zombies, though he was happy to act as mentor for the group.

Rodford said in 2014: “Rod used to come to watch The Bluetones perform and in 1961 said he wanted to form a band, so I took them to the club and set them up.That was the first time The Zombies played together and they went on to conquer the world.

“I remember they won a rock contest at Watford Town Hall and the first prize was a recording session at Decca and Rod wrote She’s Not There for it – it went straight to the top of the US



https://www.express.co.uk/news/obituaries/910773/jim-rodford-dead-bassist-the-ki...

As for turning down his chance to be in The Zombies Rodford said: “I was in the biggest band in the area, so why would I want to play with some young kids?”

He later went on to join The Mike Cotton Sound and then formed Argent with Rod, recording the original version of God Gave Rock And Roll To You.

By the time he joined The Kinks the band was past its 1960s heyday but still managed one last classic, the 1983 hit Come Dancing, which became their biggest chart success since 1972.

Finally, in 2004, Rodford joined the reunited Zombies and, along with son Steve on drums, toured with them until his very last performance at a Songwriters Festival in Florida just six days before he died following a fall.

He is survived by wife Jean and sons Steve and Russell.

Kinks and Zombies bassist Jim Rodford dies aged 76


...

The Kinks bassist Jim Rodford has died at the age of 76.

The British musician, who spent 18 years with the band from 1979, also played with Argent and The Zombies.

His cousin and fellow bandmate, Rod Argent,  paid tribute on Facebook to the "magnificent bass player", who died following a fall on the stairs.

He also highlighted his commitment to the music scene in St Albans where he had lived all his life, playing with family members in The Rodford Files.

"He gave us absolutely unflagging commitment, loyalty and unbelievable energy... Our gratitude is beyond measure," Argent said.




"To the end, Jim's life was dedicated to music," Argent continued, in a lengthy tribute posted on Saturday. "He will be unbelievably missed."

The Kinks' Dave Davies paid tribute to his former colleague, who played with the band between 1979 and 1993, writing that he was "devastated by Jim's sudden loss".

"I'm too broken up to put words together, it's such a shock, I always thought Jim would live forever in true rock and roll fashion - strange - great friend, great musician, great man - he was an integral part of the Kinks later years. RIP," he wrote on Twitter.

Rodford was playing with The Bluetones when his cousin, Argent, first asked him to join his then-band The Zombies, alongside singer Colin Blunstone.

Rodford declined, but Argent in his Facebook tribute said he was "inextricably bound to the story of The Zombies" and credited him as being "an enormous enabler" for the band who went on to have a major US hit with She's Not There in 1964.

...

After a stint with the Mike Cotton Sound, the bassist did eventually agree to join his cousin as a founding member of Argent, who are best remembered for the songs Hold Your Head Up and God Gave Rock and Roll to You.

When the Argent split in 1976, Rodford was recruited by the Kinks after the departure of John Dalton, performing on every album from 1979's Low Budget to 1993's Phobia.

"It is with deep sadness that we have learned that Jim Rodford passed away - he toured and recorded with the Kinks for many years and will be greatly missed. He was much loved by all of us," said an official statement from the Kinks on Twitter.


Rodford joined the revived Zombies in 1999 alongside his son, drummer Steve Rodford, touring until his death, most recently in Florida this month.

He was presented with an honorary Doctor of Arts degree from the University of Hertfordshire last year.

Milos Forman, Oscar-Winning Director of ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,’ Dies at 86
By Richard Natale and Carmel Dagan      


...

Czech-born director Milos Forman, who won best directing Oscars for “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and “Amadeus,” has died. He was 86.

Forman died Friday in the U.S. after a brief illness, his wife, Martina, told the Czech news agency CTK. She said that “his departure was calm, and he was surrounded the whole time by his family and his closest friends.”

Having made just one American film at the time, the ironic comedy “Taking Off” (1971), which won critical acclaim but failed to connect with audiences, Forman seemed an unlikely choice to direct the adaptation of Ken Kesey’s countercultural novel “Cuckoo’s Nest.” But he brought a balance and objectivity to the film, which could easily have descended into histrionics. The critically lauded and immensely popular film starring the fast-rising Jack Nicholson struck a nerve in 1975, and on Academy Awards night it became the first film since 1934’s “It Happened One Night” to sweep the top five Oscar prizes: best picture, director, actress, actor and screenplay (adapted).

To shoot “Amadeus,” Forman returned to his native Czechoslovakia in 1983 and used little-known theater actors to play Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Thomas Hulce) and his rival Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham), Forman created a compelling and cogent adaptation of Peter Shaffer’s award-winning stage play — helped in great measure by the magnificent Mozartian score. Again, Forman ruled the Oscars, taking another director trophy as the film also drew awards for picture, actor (Abraham), and screenplay, winning eight awards in all. The film was also his most financially successful after “Cuckoo’s Nest.”

With a style that film historian David Thomson said stressed the everyday over the melodramatic and a flair for improvisation, Forman had flourished as a young director in Czechoslovakia with such satirical films as 1966’s “Loves of a Blonde” and 1968’s “The Firemen’s Ball,” the latter of which was refused a showing in his native country because of its satire of bureaucratic thinking.

Forman was in Paris in August 1968 when Russian tanks rolled into Czechoslovakia, ending the Warsaw Pact country’s brief artistic renaissance. Soon thereafter he moved to New York, joining another celebrated Czech director, Ivan Passer, who had penned “Loves of a Blonde” with Forman and others. Forman’s first U.S. film, “Taking Off,” was similar in approach and style to his earlier work, and while it was praised by critics, it did little to establish him as an American director. He also took on “The Decathlon” episode of “Visions of Eight,” a compilation documentary of the Olympics by an octet of different helmers.

Over the years Forman directed few films, and his American track record was mixed. Though “Cuckoo’s Nest” transformed him into an A-list director, he waited four years before his next film, tackling another challenging piece of material, “Hair,” based on the ’60s smash hit musical. But 10 years later, the episodic piece seemed passe onscreen, and Forman’s simple approach was ill-suited for the musical material. He did better with 1981’s “Ragtime,” a mostly successful adaptation of E.L. Doctorow’s bestseller centered on intersecting lives in the early 20th century. The film did not score at the box office, however.

He attained commercial and critical success once more with “Amadeus” but never quite scaled those heights again.

Forman appeared next in 1989 with “Valmont,” an adaptation he co-penned of the French period novel “Les Liaisons dangereuses” starring Colin Firth and Annette Bening. While graceful and witty, the film suffered from comparison to the more melodramatic “Dangerous Liaisons,” released the previous year and starring John Malkovich and Glenn Close.

He didn’t direct again until he issued two other satirical pieces in the late ’90s, the first of which was “The People vs. Larry Flynt,” a well-reviewed comedy about the First Amendment controversy stirred up by Hustler publisher Larry Flynt, embodied in the film by Woody Harrelson. While reviews were strong, the film did only moderately well at the box office. But it brought Forman another director nomination in 1996. The reception to his 1999 film “Man on the Moon,” about the offbeat comic Andy Kaufman, was mixed, though lead Jim Carrey pulled in great notices. Again, audiences seemed indifferent to the subject matter.

After an absence of seven years, Forman returned in 2006 with “Goya’s Ghosts,” in which he sought to wed the Inquisition, the life of the painter Goya and the Napoleonic Wars. Implausibilities frustrated critics, but Forman did pull an affecting performance from Natalie Portman, if not from Javier Bardem, Stellan Skarsgard or Randy Quaid as the king of Spain.

In 2009 Forman directed, with his son Petr, the Czech-language “A Walk Worthwhile,” a remake of his earlier 1966 work for Czech television.

Forman collaborated with Vaclav Havel on the adaptation of a novel about the Munich Agreement, through which Hitler annexed Czechoslovakia’s Sudentenland in 1938, but the project did not come to fruition. He also had in development as a directing project the story of Charles Ponzi, the early 20th century fraudster who lends his name to the Ponzi scheme.

In addition to his directing chores, Forman was co-director of the film program at Columbia U. and appeared as an actor in such films as “Keeping the Faith,” “Heartburn” and “New Year’s Day.”

Born in the town of Caslav (also spelled Kaslov), near Prague, Jan Tomas Forman was raised by an uncle and in foster homes following the death of his parents in WWII concentration camps. After graduating from the Prague Film Faculty of the Academy of Dramatic Arts in 1957, he wrote sketches for the mixed media Laterna Magika, which was celebrated at the 1958 World’s Fair in Brussels. After departing the group in 1961, he was hired by the Czech state film studio, where he came to attention with two medium-length films, 1961’s “The Talent Competition” and “If There Were No Music.” His feature debut in 1963, “Black Peter,” won the top prize at the Locarno Film Festival and led to such internationally acclaimed efforts as “Loves of a Blonde” and “The Fireman’s Ball.”

Forman was jury president at the Cannes Film Festival in 1985 and the Venice Film Festival in 2000.

In Czechoslovakia Forman was married twice, first to actress Jana Brejchova (his lead actress in “Loves of a Blonde”) and then to Vera Kresadlova, who was the mother of his twin sons Peter and Matej. In 1998 he had another set of twins, Andrew and James, by his third wife, Martina Zborilova.

I'm crushed because he ended his life this morning!  So, so sad!  He was only 61!  May he rest in peace!

Danny Kirwan, the former Fleetwood Mac guitarist who played on five of the British band's albums, died Friday at the age of 68.

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/former-fleetwood-mac-guitarist-danny-kir...




Mick Fleetwood, who recruited the then-18-year-old Kirwan to join Fleetwood Mac in 1968, confirmed Kirwan's death with a tribute on the band's Facebook. No cause of death was announced.

"Today was greeted by the sad news of the passing of Danny Kirwan in London, England. Danny was a huge force in our early years. His love for the Blues led him to being asked to join Fleetwood Mac in 1968, where he made his musical home for many years," Fleetwood wrote.

"Danny's true legacy, in my mind, will forever live on in the music he wrote and played so beautifully as a part of the foundation of Fleetwood Mac, that has now endured for over fifty years. Thank you, Danny Kirwan. You will forever be missed!"

Kirwan joined Fleetwood Mac following the release of 1968's Mr. Wonderful – his first appearance with the band was their Number One single "Albatross" – and would record five albums with the band while serving as guitarist and singer: 1969's Then Play On (the band's last Peter Green album) and Blues Jam at Chess, 1970's Kiln House (the first Mac album to feature Christine McVie), 1971's Future Games and 1972's Bare Trees.


Due to his alcoholism, Kirwan was fired from Fleetwood Mac during the tour in support of Bare Trees in 1972. Over the second half of the Seventies, Kirwan released four solo albums. However, Kirwan's next few decades were reportedly marred by bouts of mental health issues and homelessness.

"I've been through a bit of a rough patch but I'm not too bad," Kirwan told the Independent in a rare interview in 1993, after Mick Fleetwood asked the Missing Person Bureau to seek out his former guitarist. "I get by and I suppose I am homeless, but then I've never really had a home since our early days on tour. I couldn't handle it all mentally and I had to get out. I can't settle."

For his contributions to Fleetwood Mac, Kirwan was among the eight members of the band – along with Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, Peter Green, John McVie, Christine McVie and Jeremy Spencer – that were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998; Kirwan did not attend the induction ceremony.

I think I saw him once with Electric Hot Tuna...cant be sure

But... Comin' Back To Me ...is one of the most beautiful songs written...its mood and transcendence is very similar to what Jagger/Taylor do in Winter. Balin plays and sings this one...

Otis Rush, Influential Blues Singer and Guitarist, Is Dead at 83




...

By Bill Friskics-Warren
Sept. 29, 2018

Otis Rush, a powerful blues singer and innovative guitarist who had a profound influence not just on his fellow bluesmen but also on rock guitarists like Eric Clapton and Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page, died on Saturday. He was 83.

His wife, Masaki Rush, announced the death on Mr. Rush’s website, saying that the cause was complications of a stroke he had in 2003. She did not say where he died.

A richly emotive singer and a guitarist of great skill and imagination, Mr. Rush was in the vanguard of a small circle of late-1950s innovators, including Buddy Guy and Magic Sam, whose music, steeped in R&B, heralded a new era for Chicago blues.

While Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf, his predecessors from the city’s South Side, popularized an amplified update of the bare-bones sound of the Mississippi Delta, Mr. Rush’s modernized variant — which came to be called the West Side sound because of its prevalence in nightclubs in that part of town — was at once more lyrical and more rhythmically complex.

“The sound was a radical departure from the down-home records that dominated the market at the time,” the producer Neil Slaven, contrasting Chicago’s West Side sound with its South Side counterpart, observed in the notes to a compilation of Mr. Rush’s 1950s recordings for the independent Cobra label.

Mr. Rush’s output for Cobra showcased his lacerating, vibrato-laden electric guitar lines and his gritty, gospel-inspired vocals — throaty mid-register groaning, thrilling leaps of falsetto. Holding sway beyond Chicago, his adopted hometown, this early body of work served as a rich repository of material for the blues-rock bands of the 1960s.

The British group John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, which featured Mr. Clapton on lead guitar, included a version of Mr. Rush’s slow-burning 1958 shuffle, “All Your Love (I Miss Loving),” on its 1966 album, “Blues Breakers.” Led Zeppelin reimagined Mr. Rush’s grinding 1956 hit, “I Can’t Quit You, Baby,” on its debut album, “Led Zeppelin”; the Rolling Stones updated the same song in 2016 on their album “Blue and Lonesome.”

The Texas guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan named his band after Mr. Rush’s minor-key tour de force “Double Trouble.” Virtuoso rock guitarists including Johnny Winter and Duane Allman have also cited Mr. Rush as an influence.

Mr. Rush’s guitar technique owed a debt to the discursive single-string voicings of jazz players like Kenny Burrell and jazz-inspired bluesmen like T-Bone Walker and B. B. King. But it was also attributable to the fact that Mr. Rush played his instrument left-handed and upside down. Curling the little finger of his pick hand around the bottom E string of his guitar enabled him to bend and extend notes, to dazzling emotional effect.

“When you play lefty, you’re pulling that vibrato down to the floor,” Mr. Rush told Vintage Guitar magazine in 1998, referring to the tremolo arm, or whammy bar, of an electric guitar. “That makes things a lot easier in terms of pressure and control.

“Pulling down makes more sense, to me anyway,” he added, “and I can work it stronger and get it to sustain better.”

The critic Robert Palmer, in his book “Deep Blues” (1981), wrote rapturously of Mr. Rush’s musicianship. “His guitar playing hit heights I didn’t think any musician was capable of: notes bent and twisted so delicately and immaculately,” he wrote, “they seemed to form actual words, phrases that cascaded up the neck, hung suspended over the rhythm and fell suddenly, bunching at the bottom in anguished paroxysms.”

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine in 1968, the guitarist Michael Bloomfield said that white blues bands hoping to prove themselves in the 1960s “had to be as good as Otis Rush.”

In 2015 Rolling Stone ranked Mr. Rush 53rd on its list of “100 Greatest Guitarists.”

He was born on April 29, 1935, in Philadelphia, Miss., one of seven children of O. C. and Julia (Boyd) Rush. Reared by his sharecropping mother, Otis and his brothers and sisters were often kept out of school to work in the fields to make ends meet. Otis dabbled on the harmonica before he began teaching himself the rudiments of the guitar at age 8.

He moved to Chicago in 1949 after visiting one of his sisters there and seeing the likes of Muddy Waters and Little Walter perform in the city’s South Side clubs. He found work in the local steel mills and stockyards and as a truck driver, and began taking guitar lessons from a local musician, Reggie Boyd.





Otis Rush: I`Cant Quit You BabyCreditCreditVideo by Eire Sandnes



Mr. Rush first appeared in public in 1953, performing unaccompanied and billed as Little Otis. Three years later he was leading a trio at Chicago’s celebrated 708 Club, where he impressed the bluesman Willie Dixon, then working as a talent scout for the West Side businessman Eli Toscano. Mr. Toscano signed Mr. Rush to his newly founded Cobra label in 1956.

A series of commercial and financial setbacks followed. Several record deals unraveled, including the one with Cobra, which went bankrupt in the late 1950s, a casualty of Mr. Toscano’s mounting gambling debts.

In what would prove to be a streak of unusually bad luck, Mr. Rush’s subsequent recordings, for respected blues labels like Chess and Delmark, were often unreleased or delayed. Most notable was “Right Place, Wrong Time,” an album postponed five years before its release in 1976 on the tiny Bullfrog label.

Ultimately acknowledged by fans and critics as a classic, the album might have brought Mr. Rush greater acclaim had it enjoyed the promotional backing of its original, more powerful label, Capitol Records.

Exacerbating misfortunes like this was Mr. Rush’s reputation as a moody and erratic live performer who could enthrall audiences one night but seem lackluster and aloof the next. Some of his recordings were uneven as well, marred by lesser material and slapdash production — a far cry from his peak work for Cobra and Chess.

Weary and disillusioned, Mr. Rush retired from performing in the late 1970s. He staged a comeback in the ’80s and, though he recorded only sporadically after that, he did win a Grammy Award, for best traditional blues album, for “Any Place I’m Going” in 1999. That same year he was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame. He did not make another studio album but continued to tour until he had a debilitating stroke in 2003.

Mr. Rush and Masaki Rush had two daughters, Lena and Sophia, as well as several grandchildren. He also had two sons and two daughters from an earlier marriage. Complete information on survivors was not immediately available.

Though unquestionably a progenitor of an important strain of Chicago blues, Mr. Rush, in an online interview, denied having had any part in coining the term “West Side sound” to describe his music.

“The public came up with this, not me,” he said. “You know, they had the West Side, South Side and North Side. They started naming it Chicago blues. I don’t know: Chicago blues, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York. Who cares? It’s blues, you know?”

RIP: Hardy Fox, Co-Founder and Composer for The Residents Dies at 73

October 30, 2018 News RIP, The Latest 0 Comments

By JOHN DALY


Hardy Fox, co-founder of the band The Residents, passed away from brain cancer. He was 73.

Fox was the primary composer for the group, known for its performance art and timely, often anti-establishment songs.

Fox grew up in Texas and attended college in San Francisco in the late 1960s.

Hardy had not played with The Residents since 2015, when he retired. He did continue to write music until his passing.

A lover of music aside from his work with The Residents, Fox also recorded under other pseudonyms, including Sonido de la Noche, TAR, Chuck, Charles Bobuck among others.

A statement on The Residents website said Fox was a “source of joy to those around him.”

It also reads: “As president of the corporation from 1982-2016, the company benefited from Hardy’s instinct for leadership and direction, but his true value came from his longtime association with The Residents. As the group’s producer, engineer, as well as collaborator on much of their material, Fox’s influence on The Residents was indelible; despite any formal training, his musicality was nevertheless unique, highly refined and prolific.

“Blessed with a vital sense of aesthetics, a keen ear, and an exquisite love of the absurd, Hardy’s smiling face was a constant source of joy to those around him. He will be missed. After a series of recent health problems, Hardy succumbed to a brief illness. He is survived by his husband, Steven Kloman.”

RIP, Mr Roeg (who co-directed "Performance".)

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-46329949

Director Nicolas Roeg dies aged 90

Director Nicolas Roeg, whose films include Don't Look Now and Performance, has died aged 90, his family says.

In a career spanning six decades, he was celebrated for his original and controversial film-making.

His 1973 psychological thriller Don't Look Now caused controversy for its graphic sex scenes.

Roeg also directed Mick Jagger in the crime drama Performance and David Bowie in the science fiction movie The Man Who Fell To Earth.

His son, Nicolas Roeg Jr, said his father died on Friday night. "He was a genuine dad. He just had his 90th birthday in August," he said.

Edgar Wright, the British director of Shaun of the Dead and Baby Driver, was among those who paid tribute to "a master of the art".

Farewell to the extraordinary cinematic talent, director Nicolas Roeg. His films hypnotized me for years and still continue to intrigue. Along with classics like Performance & Walkabout, I could watch Don't Look Now on a loop & never tire of its intricacies. A master of the art.

Dylan's personal life after he divorced Sara in 1977 is shrouded in lots of mystery and rumour but its been long speculated that he may have been married to Clydie in the early 80's and/or had a child with her.

He later (in 1986) did marry and have a child with another backing singer, Carolyn Dennis, although the marriage ended in the early 90s.

She was a wonderful singer. Really enjoyed her contribution to his gospel era records and shows.

Until yesterday, I never knew that the backing singers on 'Sweet Home Alabama' were Clydie, Merry Clayton and Al Kooper.

RIP Peter, I already mentioned that when I was a kid the Monkees were big, and I was a 10 YO kid when they started, they have a TV series, a comic magazine and records, I had some of my first Picture sleeves singles by them. I felt I was groovy LOL one day my older brother and some of his friends when to my house and they said something like “Come on, do you have records of the Monkees? they are bull shit” then I started to listen to my brothers albums and discovered the difference, then I started to listen psychedelic music, blues and classic rock instead of that bubble gum and sunshine commercial pop.

Again RIP Peter

Actually, the producers rejected Stills because of his teeth or something like that. When he got rejected, he let Peter know about it.

Jeez, I haven't heard this since I was 12 years old and AM radio was about to be defeated by FM.  It's so manufactured that it calls 3/4 of The California Sound into question, including Love, Buffalo Springfield, and CSNY.  2:29 of this kind of work invites its own backlash.  Sadly, I love it and miss it.

Dick Dale, king of surf guitar, dead at 81


by Jared Leone, Cox Media Group National Content Desk, NCD



...



Dick Dale, whose airy guitar licks became the foundation of the surf rock genre, died Saturday at 81.

Sam Bolle, a bassist who performed with Dale, confirmed his death to The Guardian. Dale suffered from various health issues. His cause of death was not released.
Dale’s 1962 hit "Miserlou" re-found fame decades later as the opening credit song for the movie "Pulp Fiction."






His 1961 single "Let’s Go Trippin’" is considered the first instrumental surf rock song.
Dale’s distinct playing style led to his unique sound. It also led to his work helping Leo Fender design the Stratocaster guitar.
"(Fender) used to say: ‘When it can withstand the barrage of punishment from Dick Dale, then it is fit for the human consumption.’ So I blew up over 50 amplifiers. And that’s why they call me the Father of Heavy Metal," Dale told the Miami New Times in 2011.

Dale stopped performing in the mid 1970s but was playing again by the 1980s and continued touring into the 21st century. Although he had health insurance, it did not provide coverage to pay to replenish supplies to keep his stoma infection-free, BIllboard reported in 2015. Dale suffered from Diabetes and had post-cancer treatments.
"I can’t stop touring because I will die. Physically and literally, I will die," Dale said.

Minnesota blues hero Tony Glover, an influence on Dylan and the Stones, dies at 79



After his '60s trio Koerner, Ray & Glover, the harmonica blower went on to become an esteemed music writer and radio host but was still often called on stage by Patti Smith, Beck and others.


By Chris Riemenschneider Star Tribune  MAY 30, 2019



...



He was the harmonica player Mick Jagger enlisted for a lesson, and the Doors, Patti Smith and Beck all invited on stage to perform with them in Minneapolis; the Minnesota music hero honored by both Bob Dylan and the Replacements in concerts at St. Paul’s Midway Stadium; the writer and musicologist who penned blues tomes, magazine articles and Dylan liner notes.

To the close friends and family mourning Tony Glover this week, he was also just an ultracool, storied but laid-back guy they relished hanging around.

Glover died Wednesday afternoon of natural causes after being hospitalized since May 13. He was 79.

Using the bluesman pseudonym “Little Sun,” Glover made his earliest and best-known mark on music in the early-1960s acoustic blues and folk group Koerner, Ray & Glover. The trio’s three albums for Elektra Records — especially their 1963 debut “Blues, Rags & Hollers” — were cited by the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Doors, Bonnie Raitt and many more as an influence on their music.

In a 2002 interview shortly before his longtime bandmate Dave “Snaker” Ray lost his cancer battle, Glover said, “Ragged but right; that’s what we always aimed for.”

A Minneapolis native who grew up loving Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson and Leadbelly alongside Ray (his classmate at University High School in Dinkytown), Glover became emblematic of the white kids whose reverence of African-American blues musicians shaped rock music through much of the 1960s.

“If three white kids from the Midwest could make a record that sounds that black and deep and soulful, that really was inspirational,” Rolling Stone’s esteemed senior editor David Fricke told the Star Tribune. “It became a foundation for so much of what came after it.”

Glover and Ray continued to perform and record together up through Ray’s passing. In the 1980s they opened for the likes of B.B. King and John Lee Hooker and kept a house gig at the 400 Bar that brought new life to Minneapolis’ old West Bank music scene. Another mainstay of that scene and era, Willie Murphy, died in January.

In the 1990s, Ray and Glover recorded albums for the hip indie-rock labels Rough Trade and Tim/Kerr and were championed by younger trendsetters like Lucinda Williams and Beck, each of whom asked them to perform at their early First Avenue concerts.

The duo would also intermittently rejoin with Spider John Koerner, now the sole survivor of their legendary trio. Koerner is currently traveling abroad but checked in back home to hear the sad news.

Glover’s reputation among other musicians and musicheads extended well past his own musicianship.

He brought a hip veneer to top 40 radio station KDWB as a late-night host in the late-’60s, for which he landed interviews with Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Pete Townshend when they performed in Minneapolis. He also wrote articles for Rolling Stone, Creem and Crawdaddy magazines in the 1960s and ’70s that helped prototype rock journalism.

Glover also became a leading commentator on the music of Dylan, whom he first met as a University of Minnesota “student” and later hung out with in New York, including a trip together to visit a hospitalized Woody Guthrie in 1963. He penned liner notes for the landmark Dylan concert recording “Live 1966: The ‘Royal Albert Hall’ Concerts” and is featured throughout Martin Scorsese’s definitive Dylan docuseries “No Direction Home.”

Dylan, in turn, wrote of “One Foot in the Grave,” a 1996 Koerner, Ray & Glover album, “Exactly like you’d think it would be, stunning. Every time they play the lights shine.”

During a Midway Stadium concert in 2005 — not far from the house where Glover and his wife lived in St. Paul — Dylan mumbled a shout-out to his old friend on stage and visited with him backstage. A decade later in the same stadium, Paul Westerberg invited Glover to play harmonica in Jimmy Reed’s “Going to New York” during the Replacements’ lone hometown reunion concert.

While he also took on the arduous task of learning to play sitar during a brief relocation to Berkeley, Calif., Glover was steadfast about blues harmonica. That led to him writing three instructional books and co-authoring a 2002 biography of blues music’s most revered harp blower, “Blues With a Feeling: The Little Walter Story.”

His writing duties also included more liner notes for albums by John Lee Hooker, John Hammond, Lazy Bill Lucas, Willie & the Bees, the Jayhawks and many more.

After Ray’s death, Glover kept up appearances on Twin Cities stages with a new trio, V3, featuring Galen Michaelson and Jon Rodine. He also reiterated his folkier side in a Woody Guthrie tribute show that also starred Charlie Maguire and Pops Wagner.

Glover and Koerner sporadically performed together again during the late-’00s, including a semiregular return to the West Bank gig that led to the 2009 album “Koerner & Glover: Live at the 400 Bar.”

Looking back on his 40- to 50-year relationship with his Koerner, Ray & Glover bandmates in 2002, the blues stalwart said their connection was more about a love for the music than it was friendship.

“I can probably count on one hand the number of times we’ve gotten together socially, where it wasn’t related to a gig or something work-related,” Glover said. The upside to that, he added, “is that when we do get together, it’s always fun. That may be part of our chemistry.”

Dave Bartholomew, Mainstay of New Orleans R&B, Dies at 100

By Bill Friskics-Warren
June 23, 2019



Dave Bartholomew, the producer, arranger, composer, trumpet player and bandleader who had a major hand in the shaping of New Orleans rhythm and blues and early rock ’n’ roll, died on Sunday in New Orleans. He was 100.

His death was confirmed by his son Ron.

An influential figure who worked mainly behind the scenes, Mr. Bartholomew was best known for the hits he produced for and wrote with Fats Domino, including “Ain’t That a Shame” (originally released under the name “Ain’t It a Shame”) and “Blue Monday.”

Under Mr. Bartholomew’s direction, Mr. Domino placed 65 singles on the Billboard pop chart from 1955 to 1964. Among rock ’n’ roll singers, only Elvis Presley had more during that period.

Mr. Bartholomew’s musical reach extended well beyond his collaborations with Mr. Domino. He also produced and arranged signature hits by Lloyd Price (“Lawdy Miss Clawdy”), Shirley and Lee (“Let the Good Times Roll”) and Smiley Lewis (“I Hear You Knocking”). “My Ding-a-Ling,” Chuck Berry’s only No. 1 pop single, was an adaptation of “Little Girl Sing Ding-a-Ling,” a recording Mr. Bartholomew made under his own name in 1952. Elton John, Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Hank Williams Jr. and Cheap Trick, among many others, have recorded material associated with Mr. Bartholomew.

“His importance cannot be overstated,” Dr. Ira Padnos, a practicing anesthesiologist and the founder of the Ponderosa Stomp, a national touring revue and foundation that recognizes and promotes the work of American roots music pioneers, said in an interview for this obituary in 2010.

“Dave was one of rock ’n’ roll’s first great producers,” Dr. Padnos said. “And he created what might have been the first rock ’n’ roll record with ‘The Fat Man,’ ” a hit for Mr. Domino in 1949. “There was nothing else like it at the time. He put a heavy backbeat behind an old blues tune, and it became rock ’n’ roll.”

That “big beat,” as it came to be known, was supplied by the drummer Earl Palmer, one of several unerringly funky musicians whom Mr. Bartholomew recruited to work in his band. (Others included the saxophonists Lee Allen and Alvin (Red) Tyler.)

Besides appearing on his sessions, this tight ensemble played on Little Richard’s volcanic mid-50s hits “Tutti Frutti” and “Long Tall Sally.” It also backed Sam Cooke, with a young Allen Toussaint on piano, during his 1960 tour of the United States.

Fusing Mardi Gras parade rhythms, jump blues, big-band jazz and Tin Pan Alley pop, Mr. Bartholomew and his band created a Crescent City groove that became as enduring a part of rock ’n’ roll vernacular as Bo Diddley’s “shave-and-a-haircut” beat and Mr. Berry’s “ringin’ a bell” guitar.

No less remarkable was the fact that Mr. Bartholomew, a black man, achieved such prominence working in the Jim Crow South. “He was operating in a very segregated environment,” John Broven, the author of “Rhythm & Blues in New Orleans,” said in an interview. “You had to be somebody special to rise to the top.”

Dave Bartholomew was born on Dec. 24, 1918, in Edgard, La. (Some sources say the year was 1920, but the family said 1918 is correct.) The son of a jazz trumpet player, he grew up in a musical home and learned to play the tuba before moving on to trumpet.

He earned the nickname Leather Lungs for his ability to hold a note, and by the time he was a teenager he had spent time in a number of the region’s most popular bands, including those led by Joe Robicheaux and Papa Celestin. He later worked briefly with Jimmie Lunceford’s big band, and with a military band while serving in the Army, where he began writing and arranging music.

After serving in World War II he formed his own group, which appeared in New Orleans night spots like the Club Tijuana and the Dew Drop Inn, before meeting the record mogul Lew Chudd, who signed Mr. Bartholomew to his label, Imperial.

Mr. Bartholomew was working for the label as a talent scout when he first heard Mr. Domino perform, at the Hideaway Club in New Orleans. “The Fat Man,” the first single the two men made together, became a national hit and offered early proof of Mr. Bartholomew’s astute mix of commercial and artistic instincts.

“He was smart enough to know you couldn’t get a song named ‘Junker Blues’ played on the radio,” Dr. Padnos explained, referring to the drug-themed song on which “The Fat Man” was based, “so he came up with ‘The Fat Man’ instead. With Fats he wrote stuff that was accessible enough that the kids would buy it.”


The genial, steady-rolling arrangements Mr. Bartholomew wrote for Mr. Domino all but ensured the mainstream appeal of his music. The records Mr. Bartholomew released under his own name had more of a Caribbean or Afro-Cuban feel than his collaborations with Mr. Domino and the other youth-oriented performers whose sessions he produced. With titles like “Shrimp and Gumbo” and “Carnival Day,” these recordings were evocative of local New Orleans culture.

A broad cross section of Mr. Bartholomew’s music, including his work with renowned blues musicians like T-Bone Walker and Roy Brown, was presented in “The Spirit of New Orleans: The Genius of Dave Bartholomew,” a two-CD set released by Capitol Records in 1993.

Mr. Bartholomew’s name was linked to steadily fewer hit records as the 1960s gave way to the ’70s, but he remained active into his 80s. His 1998 studio album, “New Orleans Big Beat” (Landslide), featured “Jazz Fest in New Orleans,” which became the unofficial anthem of the city’s annual Jazz and Heritage Festival.

He was given a Trustees Award, for lifetime achievement, by the Recording Academy in 2014.

Survivors include his wife, Rhea (Douse) Bartholomew; his daughters, Diane Wilson and Jacqueline Temple; his sons, Dave Jr., Don and Ron; three stepchildren, Alvin LaBeaud, Darrell LaBeaud and Deborah Hubbard; a sister, Thelma Cooper; 25 grandchildren; and many great-grandchildren.

Mr. Bartholomew’s compositions have been included on the soundtracks of music-themed movies like “The Girl Can’t Help It” (1956) and “American Graffiti” (1973). A member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, he was elected to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1991.

That he was inducted in the “nonperformer” category was appropriate but perhaps misleading, Mr. Broven said. In addition to being “the one who organized all the musicians and whipped everyone into shape in the studio,” he noted, “he was a great musician himself, a red-hot trumpeter.”

Swampers guitarist Jimmy Johnson has died





...

Swampers guitarist Jimmy Johnson.




By Matt Wake | [email protected]


He played guitar on Aretha Franklin hits, recorded iconic Rolling Stones tracks and co-founded one of America’s most storied studios.

And now today, Jimmy Johnson, original member of The Swampers sessions musicians group that played a massive role in giving Muscle Shoals its out-sized musical magic, has died.

Johnson was 76.

His son, Jay Johnson, announced Jimmy’s passing on Facebook. “He is gone. Playing music with the angels now,” Jay wrote in his Facebook post.


Jimmy Johnson leaves behind a recording legacy that’s as rich as they come.

His work with Franklin alone is towering. Johnson played guitar on essential Aretha songs including "Respect," "Chain of Fools," "Baby I Love You," "Think" "I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You)." "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man." And that's just the hits.

After Franklin died in 2018, Johnson told me her gospel-style piano playing was the secret to her sound. “I think that added a lot to her songwriting and also to her vocals," he said back then. "It was the thing that made (The Swampers) gel with her.”

Johnson's recording credits extend miles beyond Franklin.

He laid down guitar tracks on all-time cuts by Etta James (“Tell Mama”), Wilson Pickett (“Mustang Sally,” “Land of a 1000 Dances”), Paul Simon ""Kodachrome," “Loves Me Like a Rock”), Staple Singers (“I’ll Take You There," ”Respect Yourself"), Jimmy Cliff (“The Harder They Come”), Arthur Conley (“Sweet Soul Music”) and on and on.

Johnson was also an accomplished engineer. He recorded Percy Sledge’s “When A Man Loves A Woman” at Sheffield’s Norala Sound Studio. “At that time Percy had never sung on a record before,” Johnson told me in 2016. “And the performance he gave was so pristine and so good that it was almost hard to believe that was his first time. I think he was pretty scared to death when he came there that day. But I tell you what, that vocal on there ...”

Johnson would go on to engineer many more sessions at Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, which he founded in Sheffield with his fellow Swampers - bassist David Hood, keyboardist Barry Beckett and drummer Roger Hawkins - also known as the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section. Probably the most famous is The Rolling Stones’ December 1969 sessions at Muscle Shoals Sound. The Stones sessions produced blues-rocker deluxe " Brown Sugar" and country ballad “Wild Horses,” as well as gritty blues cover “You Gotta Move.” Those three songs were released on the 1971 album “Sticky Fingers,” widely considered to be one of The Rolling Stones’ best ever.

In 2014 Johnson talked with me about recording The Stones: “All of a sudden 12 hours before the session I found out I’ve gotta do it. We had to get those songs cut within about five hours (each). The songs were not even finished written, two of them, ‘Brown Sugar’ and ‘Wild Horses,’ they wrote them as we were doing them.”

The biggest challenge Johnson recalled in recording the Stones was “the fact that Keith (Richards, Stones guitarist) liked to play on ’10.' Loud.”

Growing up, Johnson played in local bands include The Del-Rays. His first paying gig was at age 15 at the Tuscumbia National Guard Armory, earning a princely $10. Johnson’s session musician career first took off in the mid-60s at Muscle Shoals’ FAME Recording Studios, where he worked for producer Rick Hall, the father of “the Muscle Shoals sound,” a tight but loose approach sometimes described as country-funk.

He was Hall’s first paid employee at FAME, sweeping floors and making coffee. After Hall’s first house rhythm section left FAME to move to Nashville for work, Johnson, Beckett, Hawkins and Hood became FAME’s second rhythm section - and would go on to become that studio’s most famous. In addition to all the wonderful music they helped record, The Swampers profile received a major boost when they were given a shout-out in one of rock’s most enduring anthems, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s 1974 hit “Sweet Home Alabama”: “Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers/And they’ve been known to pick a song or two.”

At FAME, The Swampers became known for their song-first mentality and soulful playing on R&B hits by the likes of Franklin, Pickett and James, among many others.

In 1969, Johnson, Beckett, Hawkins and Hood opened their own recording studio, which became Muscle Shoals Sound, in a former coffin factory located across from a cemetery. The cinder block building may have been humble but soon even the address there, 3614 Jackson Hwy., would become well-known among musicians and fans. In addition to The Stones, other now-classic artists to record at Muscle Shoals Sound during the studio’s 10 year prime - both at the 3614 original and lesser known 1000 Alabama Ave. location - included Rod Stewart, Paul Simon, Cher, Bob Seger and Bob Dylan.

For recording sessions, Johnson often played a Telecaster, Strat or orange Gretsch 6120 guitar through a Fender Vibrolux amp. His guitar style was focused on rhythm. It was clever, funky and sharp. Just the right chord or simple-tasteful lick at just the right moment on a track. And knowing how to let a song breathe.

In 2013, there was renewed interest in Johnson and The Swampers, with the release documentary film “Muscle Shoals,” which chronicled Hall and The Swampers’ intertwined paths. In recent years, music fans were able to see Johnson, who mostly focused on studio work, perform live more often, at gigs with the Muscle Shoals Revue, playing onstage versions of Shoals-made classics.

Hood was visiting Johnson in the hospital just an hour before Johnson’s passing. Later, after hearing his friend of 60 years - not just his longtime musical and business partner - had died, Hood says, “I was devastated. Jimmy was a brother to me. I would not be in this world of music if not for Jimmy and his encouragement. From the first time I ever touched a bass he encouraged me. I would not be doing what I’m doing if not for Jimmy Johnson."

Johnson also was important to a new generation of Muscle Shoals musicians. After news of Johnson’s death broke, Grammy winning singer, songwriter and guitarist Jason Isbell posted on Isbell’s Twitter account, “The mighty Jimmy Johnson has passed. A lot of my favorite music wouldn’t exist without him, and he was always kind to me. Hard times for the folks back home.”

A few years ago, Muscle Shoals Sound's interior was restored to its vintage look, including a tufted green and gold striped ceiling. The double-8-shaped white Styrofoam sound proofing is also period-correct, as are various musical instruments in the main room. Behind big glass windows, there's a control room with recording console and analog tape machine.

Johnson enjoyed stopping by the studio during tours. He loved to interact with visitors from around the world eager to learn about Muscle Shoals Sound mojo, and get to know the studio’s tour guides.

“Jimmy was a great storyteller,” recalls Muscle Shoals Sound executive director Debbie Wilson.

And the people at Muscle Shoals Sound are determined to continue to tell Jimmy Johnson’s story. Even if today is a hard one to get through.

“We look at his guitar and cry,” Wilson says. “We look at the control board and cry. But the music, legacy and his spirit will live on and we are honored to make sure it does.”

Ric Ocasek of the Cars has now died as well

https://pagesix.com/2019/09/15/the-cars-frontman-ric-ocasek-found-dead-in-manhat
tan-townhouse/?fbclid=IwAR3lRe0nDaWV0r32lsdZlozeWBG_5iKWKdqxUJuD6_jpUi1qrot41ry8

Ric Ocasek, the lead singer of iconic new-wave rock band The Cars, was found dead in his Manhattan apartment on Sunday, law enforcement sources told The Post. He was 70 years old.

Ocasek was discovered unconscious and unresponsive at around 4:14 p.m. inside his Gramercy Park pad by his estranged wife, Paulina Porizkova, sources said.

He appeared to have died from natural causes, sources added.

Ocasek and his seminal new wave band The Cars shot to fame with their self-titled hit album in the 1978, which included hits such as “My Best Friend’s Girl” and “Just What I Needed.”

The singer reflected on his years in the band when he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year.

“It’s certainly a wonderful feeling to be accepted by peers and you see the people that are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, who gets inducted, it’s a positive feeling that you get,” Ocasek said in an interview with Rolling Stone.

From 1978 to 1987, the band churned  out six records — “five of which are good-to-great,” said Erik Adams, an AV Club music critic, in a 2018 article.

“And then there are The Cars, the type of band that put out a perfect debut record, and then had the audacity to not pack it in after that,” the critic wrote.

In 1984, the band received another notable accolade, winning MTV’s “Video of the Year” award for its hit song off its 5th album, “You Might Think.”

After a long hiatus, the band reunited in 2011 and released an album called “Move Like This.” It was the band’s first, and only, album without late- bassist Benjamin Orr, who died in 2000.

Ocasek had recently placed the home where he was found on the market after he and Porizkova announced their split in May 2018.

The pair — who shared two children together — had been together for 28 years when they separated.

Honk.
He may not have closed his own car door (like Meghan Merkel) and may not even be barely remembered by many, his first and perhaps greatest mistake was naming his band as he did, rather than as The Coupes, Our Motors, The Floats, The Shitboxes or The Wagons.

RIP RO...(not RocksOff!)

I re-discovered The Cars about 4 years ago when I started my Spotify membership.

I urge everyone to listen to the First Album, The Cars- Deluxe Edition.
It has of course the first album, but it also includes all the demos of the songs, before they are all tightened/produced/minimized to the sounds we all know today.

Those guys were real rockers...

Their live album Live At The Agora is also excellent and shows how good they were live at the start of their career.

My fave is Candy-O

.

It must be getting early
Clocks are running late
Paint by numbers morning sky
Looks so phony

Dawn is breaking everywhere
Light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains, I don't care
'Cause it's alright

I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive

I see you got your list out
Say your piece and get out
Yes I got the gist of it
But it's alright

Sorry that you feel that way
The only thing there is to say
Every silver lining's got a
Touch of grey

I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive

It's a lesson to me
The Ables and the Bakers and the C's
The ABC's
We all must face
And try to keep a little grace

It's a lesson to me
The Deltas and the East and the Freeze
The ABC's
We all think of
And try to keep a little love

I know the rent is in arrears
The dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it appears
But it's alright

Cows are giving kerosene
The kid can't read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene
But it's alright

I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive

The shoe is on the hand it fits
There's really nothing much to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit
'Cause it's alright

Oh well a touch of grey
Kind of suits you anyway
That was all I had to say
It's alright

I will get by
I will get by
I will get by

We will get by

Fare you well, Mr. Hunter. We love you more than words can tell...

For a man who provided us with so many meaningful words, the soundtrack to our lives, he's left us a bit speechless with his passing. For more than 50 years, since his first lyrical contributions to the Grateful Dead in 1967, Robert Hunter has been just as integral a part of the legacy of the Grateful Dead as those who recorded the music to accompany his words, those who walked out on stage to bring his words to life. More than 2,000 times 1967-1995, these six (or five or seven) proud walkers on the jingle bell rainbow, plus countless thousands of times since then by other performers, the Grateful Dead have brought Hunter's words to life in front of all of us as their witness. Not a single day has gone by since 1984 that Hunter's words haven't been a part of my world; I've heard Jerry, Bob and others sing his words literally every day for the past 35 years.

When the final Fare Thee Well show ended in Chicago in 2015, Mickey Hart famously sent us on our way by asking us to "please, be kind," and that lesson along with its lyrical brethren written by Hunter, "ain't no time to hate," and "are you kind?" are some of the truest words to live by. No matter what meaning, solace, lesson you find in Hunter's lyrics, please go out and do some good with them.

David Lemieux

Ginger Baker, wild and brilliant Cream drummer, dies aged 80


Drummer who straddled jazz, blues and rock ‘passed away peacefully’




Ginger Baker, one of the most brilliant, versatile and turbulent drummers in the history of British music, has died aged 80.

His family had previously made it public that he was critically ill and asked fans to “please keep him in your prayers”. His Facebook page said he “passed away peacefully” on Sunday morning.

Paul McCartney was among those paying tribute, writing on Twitter: “Great drummer, wild and lovely guy … Sad to hear that he died but the memories never will.”

Baker was born in 1939 in Lewisham, south London, and grew up amid the blitz; his father was killed in action in 1943. He began drumming in his mid-teens, remembering in 2009: “I’d never sat behind a kit before, but I sat down – and I could play! One of the musicians turned round and said, ‘Bloody hell, we’ve got a drummer’, and I thought, ‘Bloody hell, I’m a drummer!’”

Early work came with the jazz guitarist Diz Disley – which ended when an 18-year-old Baker set fire to a hotel while on tour in Europe – and with bandleader Terry Lightfoot. He played blues in Blues Incorporated – including guest appearances with an early incarnation of the Rolling Stones – and US R&B with the Graham Bond Organisation, both alongside Jack Bruce on bass guitar.

Despite considerable friction between Baker and Bruce, the pair in 1966 formed Cream with Eric Clapton, who had previously played with the Yardbirds and John Mayall. Cream helped define the psychedelic rock sound of the decade, with Baker bringing both a jazz sensibility – Toad, from debut album Fresh Cream, features one of the first ever drum solos in rock – and a hard-hitting style, using two bass drums, that pointed towards heavy metal.

Cream sold more than 15m records worldwide and had hits including Sunshine of Your Love, Strange Brew and White Room; three of their four albums reached both the US and UK top five.

The band split in 1968, releasing a final album in 1969. A reunion in 2005 ended in animosity, with Baker and Bruce shouting at each other on stage in New York. In 1969, Baker and Clapton formed the short-lived band Blind Faith with Steve Winwood and Ric Grech, and the latter pair joined Baker in his next project, jazz-rock band Ginger Baker’s Air Force.

Baker moved to Nigeria in 1971 and set up the Batakota recording studio in Lagos, which hosted local musicians as well as established stars (McCartney’s band Wings recorded part of Band on the Run there). He performed with Nigerian star Fela Kuti – “he understands the African beat more than any other westerner,” said Kuti’s drummer Tony Allen – and went on to collaborate or perform with a hugely varied array of musicians: Public Image Ltd, Hawkwind, hard rock band Baker Gurvitz Army, and jazz performers Max Roach, Art Blakey and Elvin Jones. In 1994, he formed a jazz trio with Charlie Haden and Bill Frisell.


He had spells living in Italy, California, Colorado and South Africa, and developed a passion for polo. In 2008, when living in South Africa, he was defrauded of more than £30,000 by a bank clerk he had hired as a personal assistant. He also suffered from various health issues, including respiratory illness and osteoarthritis, and underwent open heart surgery in 2016. “God is punishing me for my past wickedness by keeping me alive and in as much pain as he can,” he said in 2009.

That wickedness perhaps included his notorious temper – “I used to be mean – I’d deliberately mess up recording sessions with my temper and go mad at the slightest thing,” he said in 1970. He was married four times – “If a plane went down and there was one survivor, it would be Ginger. The devil takes care of his own,” first wife Elizabeth Ann Baker said in 2009 – and used heroin on and off since the mid-60s: he told the Guardian in 2013 that he relapsed “something like 29 times”.

A documentary, Beware of Mr Baker, was made about his life in 2012. He is survived by his three children, Kofi, Leda and Ginette.

Ed Cherney, Grammy-Winning Engineer for Bonnie Raitt & The Rolling Stones, Dies at 69



Ed Cherney, a Grammy and Emmy-winning engineer, who worked on such seminal works as Bonnie Raitt’s Nick of Time, Eric Clapton’s "Tears in Heaven," The Rolling Stones’ Bridges to Babylon, Willie Nelson’s My Way and hundreds more, died Tuesday (Oct. 22) from cancer. He was 69.


...

Other artists he worked with included Bob Dylan, Bette Midler, Elton John, Sting, Etta James, Bob Seger and Jackson Browne, among others.

Cherney, who worked out of The Village Studios in Los Angeles, was known for his quick-witted, jolly manner. The Chicago-native enjoyed a great conversation or golf game as much as finding the perfect sound.

After Cherney’s wife, former Record Plant head Rose Mann-Cherney, announced news of his death on Facebook Tuesday morning, tributes began pouring in from fellow engineers and producers, as well as artists like Slash, Keith Richards, Jann Arden and Raitt.

https://twitter.com/officialKeef/status/1186765812096491520

Cherney, who was nominated for five Grammys, snagged his first win in 1995 for best engineered album/non- classical for Raitt’s Longing in Their Hearts. That year, he engineered three of the five nominees in the category. He won again in 2003 for best traditional blues album for Buddy Guy’s Blues Singer and in 2016 for the best traditional pop vocal album with Willie Nelson’s Summertime: Willie Nelson Sings Gershwin, an award he won again in 2018 for Nelson's My Way.  In 2015, he won an Emmy for HBO’s Bessie Smith film Bessie.


In an oral history celebrating the 30th anniversary of Raitt's Nick of Time, Cherney told Billboard about the precision required to get just the right sound, especially on "Thing Called Love." "It may have taken me five or fix times to nail the mix on that, because where it sounded great was on the head of a pin. It was that delicate."  When the album went on to win album of the year at the 1990 Grammys, Cherney said, "It came out of nowhere -- this was just a little record. No one was expecting that at all. I may have cried. I may have just broken down and cried."

Engineer Ann Mincieli, best known for her work with Alicia Keys, was a close friend of Cherney's. She tells Billboard, "From the Rolling Stones to Bonnie Raitt and everyone in between, Ed Cherney defined his sound and left us with a sonic imprint we will never forget. Ed and his wife Rose helped raise the bar of every aspect of the music industry and mentored several people like myself. As [Recording Academy] Producers & Engineers Wing co-chairs, we walked the halls of Congress, sat behind a console, lobbied for credits and high-resolution audio and the list goes on and on."

Appropriately enough, his email address was "mixerdudeman." And fitting of his humility, on his website instead of tributes from the superstars he worked with, he had a quote from his dog, Archie: “Cherney is one of the great music engineers of all time. And then there’s bacon.”

His mantra, also on his website, best expressed his approach. Even though, by his own admission, he was obsessed with tech, he wrote: “Ultimately, mixing is about heart -- nobody leaves a session dancing to what kind of gear you used.”

Melissa Ethridge's son tragically died today. David Crosby was the biological father.

Today I joined the hundreds of thousands of families who have lost loved ones to opioid addiction. My son Beckett, who was just 21, struggled to overcome his addiction and finally succumbed to it today. He will be missed by those who loved him, his family and friends.
My heart is broken. I am grateful for those who have reached out with condolences and I feel their love and sincere grief.
We struggle with what else we could have done to save him, and in the end we know he is out of the pain now.
I will sing again, soon. It has always healed me.

and RIP to Pretty Things front man Phil May

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-52683543

He formed the band in 1963 with Dick Taylor, who had just left a band called The Rolling Stones (whatever happened to them?)

They were still  band members when the band split in 2018.

Yes I was sad to read this too. Its a shame when a young person dies. Not because he has famous parents but because I know of quite a lot of young people who got in too deep with addiction and accidently od'ed.

“What rap did that was impressive was to show there are so many tone-deaf people out there,” he says. “All they need is a drum beat and somebody yelling over it and they’re happy. There’s an enormous market for people who can’t tell one note from another.” - Keef

Not quite 'rock' related, but sort of Stones-related.

Scottish comedian John Sessions died yesterday of a heartattack aged 67. Stones fans might know him from his role as Keith in BBC's 'Stella Street' in which the Glimmer Twins owned a corner shop.  (Phil Cornwell played Mick). The Stones were big fans of this.

New York Dolls Guitarist Sylvain Sylvain Dead at 69

“His role in the band was as lynchpin, keeping the revolving satellites of his bandmates in precision,” Lenny Kaye writes of pioneering musician who had been battling cancer

By ALTHEA LEGASPI & JASON NEWMAN

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/sylvain-sylvain-new-york-dolls-dea...

...

Sylvain Sylvain, the punk icon and guitarist for New York Dolls whose riffs bridged the gap between punk and glam, died Wednesday. He was 69. The musician had been battling cancer, and his death was confirmed to Rolling Stone by his wife, Wanda O’Kelley Mizrahi.

“As most of you know, Sylvain battled cancer for the past two and half years,” O’Kelley Mizrahi wrote in a statement on his Facebook page. “Though he fought it valiantly, yesterday he passed away from this disease. While we grieve his loss, we know that he is finally at peace and out of pain. Please crank up his music, light a candle, say a prayer and let’s send this beautiful doll on his way.”

The group’s self-titled 1973 debut album remains a landmark in rock music, with Rolling Stone naming it to the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list. “Glammed-out punkers the New York Dolls snatched riffs from Chuck Berry and Fats Domino and fattened them with loads of attitude and reverb,” we wrote at the time. “Produced by Todd Rundgren, songs like ‘Personality Crisis’ and ‘Bad Girl’ drip with sleaze and style.…  It’s hard to imagine the Ramones or the Replacements or a thousand other trash-junky bands without them.”

The androgynous, proto-punk group channeled their love of the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, MC5, and the Stooges into hard-driving rock songs with a pop sheen, wearing flamboyant outfits and makeup that would set the fashion template for a generation of kids from Manhattan and beyond.

Born Sylvain Mizrahi in Cairo, Egypt, his family moved to France before settling in New York. He ran a clothing company and was a member of the band Actress, featuring Arthur Kane, Johnny Thunders, and Billy Murcia before co-founding New York Dolls — the group took their name from the toy repair shop New York Doll Hospital — in 1971. While he served as the group’s guitarist, their first two albums — New York Dolls and 1974’s Too Much Too Soon — featured Mizrahi on piano and songwriting contributions.

“It took us forever to get a record deal, to get into the business,” Mizrahi told The Quietus in 2018. “But our songs were hits. The kids knew ‘Personality Crisis’, they knew ‘Trash’, they knew all those songs way before we even released them. They made us superstars.”



“When they came into the studio with [‘Personality Crisis’], it was already an important song,” album engineer Jack Douglas told Sound on Sound in 2009. “It was Syl who decided to add the piano — even at that time he was a very decent player. It definitely gave the song more edge.” Rolling Stone placed “Personality Crisis” at 267 on the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

But it was their live show that earned the band its shocking reputation. The group steadily built up a cult following through regular performances at New York clubs CBGBs and Max’s Kansas City, pioneering a sleazy, androgynous look culled from makeshift outfits.

“In the Dolls, it was really a little bit like The Little Rascals,” Sylvain told Vogue in 2015. “‘Hey, man, we’re bored! What the fuck are we going to do?’ ‘Well, let’s put on a show! What do you got?’ ‘My mother’s got these weird lamé pants.’ ‘My older brother left this old motorcycle jacket that’s been in the closet.’ ‘Where are you going to get the makeup?’ ‘My girlfriend’s bag! She shops at Biba in London every other day.’ Once we got started and once we got going, we became the darlings of it all.”



While the band’s lineup shifted through the years, Sylvain and vocalist David Johansen remained until its dissolution in 1977. “His role in the band was as lynchpin, keeping the revolving satellites of his bandmates in precision,” Lenny Kaye wrote in a letter accompanying the announcement of Sylvain’s death. “Though he tried valiantly to keep the band going, in the end the Dolls’ moral fable overwhelmed them, not before seeding an influence that would engender many rock generations yet to come.”

“My best friend for so many years, I can still remember the first time I saw him bop into the rehearsal space/bicycle shop with his carpetbag and guitar straight from the plane after having been deported from Amsterdam, I instantly loved him,” Johansen wrote on Instagram. “I’m gonna miss you old pal. I’ll keep the home fires burning. Au revoir Syl mon vieux copain.”

Following the band’s breakup, Sylvain worked on various solo projects, teamed with other artists and launched the Criminals with Bobby Blain, Michael Page, and Tony Machine. His solo work included his 1979 self-titled debut, 1981’s Syl Sylvain and the Teardrops, and 1998’s Sleep Baby Doll.

The group went through multiple internecine squabbles for years. But Sylvain reunited with New York Dolls in 2004 at London’s Royal Festival Hall, spurred on by diehard fan Morrissey. “The world wasn’t ready for them,” Morrissey said in 2004. “It seems to take the pop world 30 years to really understand a group or an artist.” When Morrissey first began plotting his lineup for the Meltdown festival, his number-one goal was to organize a New York Dolls reunion. The group would continue to tour in the mid-2000s before dissolving again.



Sylvain co-wrote and played guitar on their final three albums: 2006’s One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This, 2009’s Cause I Sez So, and 2011’s Dancing Backward in High Heels. He was also a member of the Batusis, who released an EP in 2010, and in 2016, he performed at South by Southwest.

“The New York Dolls heralded the future, made it easy to dance to,” Kaye continued. “From the time I first saw their poster appear on the wall of Village Oldies in 1972, advertising a residency at the Mercer Hotel up the street, throughout their meteoric ascent and shooting-star flameout, the New York Dolls were the heated core of this music we hail, the band that makes you want to form a band.

“Syl never stopped. In his solo lifeline, he was welcomed all over the world, from England to Japan, but most of all the rock dens of New York City, which is where I caught up with him a couple of years ago at the Bowery Electric. Still Syl. His corkscrew curls, tireless bounce, exulting in living his dream, asking the crowd to sing along, and so we will. His twin names, mirrored, becomes us.”

“A group is made up of people who start out there in some basement,” Mizrahi told the Quietus in 2018. “They’re bored of what life is, and then all of a sudden, someone says, ‘Let’s have a show!’ ‘What are we going to do for a stage curtain?’ ‘I’ll use my mother’s bedsheet.’ ‘What are we going to do for makeup?’ ‘I’ll get that from my girlfriend’s bag.’ I think it comes down to performance. Performance is what all these musicians are about.” In 2018, Sylvain also released his memoir, There’s No Bones in Ice Cream.

RIP Chick Corea

Chick Corea, Jazz Pianist Who Expanded the Possibilities of the Genre, Dead at 79

Keyboardist helped Miles Davis usher in the fusion revolution and founded his own revolutionary groups, including Return to Forever

By HANK SHTEAMER

...

Chick Corea, the virtuosic keyboardist who broadened the scope of jazz during a career spanning more than five decades, died on Tuesday from a rare form of cancer. A post on his Facebook page confirmed the news. Corea was 79.

In the early Sixties, Corea established himself as an A-list pianist, working with Stan Getz, Herbie Mann, and others. Later in the decade, he joined Miles Davis’ band and played a key role in helping the trumpeter make the transition to a more contemporary, plugged-in sound on albums like Bitches Brew. Following his work with Davis, he formed his own groundbreaking electric band, Return to Forever, which played some of the most vibrant and dynamic music of the fusion era. In the ensuing decades, Corea threw himself into countless projects, showing off his limitless range — from a duo with vibraphonist Gary Burton to his trendsetting Elektric Band. His most recent album, the 2020 live solo disc Plays, showed off his wildly diverse skill set and body of influences, touching on classical pieces, bebop, and more.

“What making music for people does, I’ve observed, is it stimulates what’s natural in all of us,” Corea told Jazz Times in 2020. “It’s native sense, in every person. You don’t have to be a professional anything — all you need to do is be a living human being, and open to the play of imagination.”

This story is developing.

Chris Barber, British trad jazz bandleader, dies aged 90



Multi-instrumentalist helped forge the skiffle craze with Lonnie Donegan and recorded with Paul McCartney





Chris Barber, the British trombonist, double bassist and trad jazz bandleader who influenced the path of mid-century pop, has died aged 90. He had dementia. His death was confirmed by his UK press representative.

Born in Hertfordshire and taught music at London’s Guildhall School, Barber was a champion of trad jazz, the raucous New Orleans style that had waned by the early 1950s as bebop became more fashionable. He helped to reignite the style’s popularity, and became known as one of the Three B’s, alongside Kenny Ball and Acker Bilk, who also separately revived trad jazz.

His first band was led by trumpeter Ken Colyer, and was renamed the Chris Barber Band after Colyer left in 1954 (later also credited as Chris Barber’s Jazz Band and other variations). Following a partnership with replacement trumpeter Pat Halcox until 2008, the group would be an abiding force in British jazz, later expanding into the Big Chris Barber Band.

The group’s biggest hit was in 1959 with Petite Fleur, originally written by Sidney Bechet. It reached No 3 in the UK charts and spent 24 weeks on the chart in total. In 1956, the influential short film Momma Don’t Allow, directed by Karel Reisz and Tony Richardson, documented one of the group’s gigs as the pair captured London’s trad jazz scene.

Another of his collaborators was Lonnie Donegan, who Barber first played with in the Colyer band. Barber played double bass on Donegan’s hit 1956 single Rock Island Line, which reached No 8 in 1956. Slowly ratcheting up in tempo and intensity, the song kicked off the craze for skiffle music, credited with pointing the way towards the revolutionary guitar-pop of the 1960s.


Barber would intersect with many stars from those mid-century pop and blues scenes. Paul McCartney gave him an instrumental composition called Cat Call, recorded in 1967, and appeared on it; it was later compiled on the album The Songs Lennon and McCartney Gave Away. Barber profoundly admired blues musicians, and invited Muddy Waters, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and other American artists to tour the UK.

He also nurtured Alexis Korner, who played in Barber’s orchestra before his group Blues Incorporated became a breeding ground for stars including the Rolling Stones and Cream.

Barber later expanded his orchestra’s repertoire beyond trad jazz, taking on adventurous pieces by artists including Charles Mingus and Joe Zawinul, and guested with stars including Van Morrison and Jools Holland.

He enjoyed a sideline in motor racing, driving a Lotus Elite. In 1991, he was awarded an OBE for services to music, and published a memoir, Jazz Me Blues, in 2014. He retired in 2019, although the Big Chris Barber Band continued to perform under his name.

One of the first hard Drum/lick/Songs I learned!😎 people/drummer's made fun of it after awhile, the simple groove, the simple layout pattern, it was a lick alot of drummers copied(even Ringo on his one drum Solo on Abbey Road) but the solo was the brunt of many drummer's nasty critiques! IMO uncalled for, but it was an easy target! I hope Mr. Bushy reap the benefits of it's popularity!

The Chieftains were the opening act on the bill at my first Stones show at Slane in 1982.

Bizarrely, I went to a Chieftains show in Belfast in August 1991 filmed for a St Patricks Day US Tv special aired the following year where it was announced in advance that their special guests would be Roger Daltrey and.... Charlie Watts.  Daltrey showed up ok (and sang 'Behind Blue Eyes' and (I think) 'Carrickfergus' ) but there was no sign or mention of Charlie on the night. I was furious! Never heard any explanation for the non appearance to this day.

Saw them a few times in the 80's and 90's. Usually opening for other acts like Van Morrison. Not really my type of music but Paddy always seemed a very likeable character and was a great ambassador for Irish music.

Awwww, that is sad. I love JG/JGB...even more than the Dead.
He plays on all the great Garcia studio albums in my rotation.
I don't believe I ever saw him play live (first time seeing JG was at school in 82/83)...
but I have enjoyed his contributions many times over the years...and I am at this very moment!

RIP Ron

RIP Graeme....Tell Charlie we all say Hi!
(I assume drummers all have a special area heaven/hell made for them, what with the noise and all)

Never into the MBs...but I did see them one time.
The opening was one of those epic early 80's openings..lights...sounds...no one on stage...then as they walked on stage, and started to play more sounds... the entire show blew a fuse...after a 20 min wait...we got to witness the entire opening again...talk about a buzz kill...
I knew a couple of the new songs, and one or two of the "classics".


Havent thought about that show since.

I recently discovered one song I do like, but cant recall the name. I heard it on LSUG a few months ago and was surprised it was the Moody blues.
Need to research.

Michael Lang, Woodstock Co-Creator, Dies at 77


A co-creator of the era-defining 1969 festival, Lang helmed its 1994 and 1999 follow-ups, too.

By Shirley Halperin, Chris Willman


Michael Lang, the co-creator and organizer of 1969’s Woodstock Music and Art Fair, and its follow-ups Woodstock ’94 and the ill-fated Woodstock ’99, died Saturday at the age of 77 at Sloan Kettering in New York City. The cause of death was a rare form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, according to family spokesperson Michael Pagnotta.

He last appeared publicly just before the COVID pandemic hit around the 50th anniversary of the festival, which was marked by controversial will they-or-won’t attempts to stage a Woodstock 50 festival that played out in the press.

Lang was raised in Brooklyn and attended college in New York City before jumping into concert promotion in the late 1960s. The first multi-artist event he organized was the 1968 Miami Pop Festival, which featured Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa and John Lee Hooker, among other acts of the era.

His move to the Woodstock, New York area sowed the seeds of a more ambitious three-day festival. Along with co-founders John Rosenman, Artie Kornfeld and John P. Roberts, they conceived of Woodstock, one of the most impactful events in music history, drawing some 400,000 people to a farm (owned by Max Yasgur) in Bethel, New York and shutting down the New York State Thruway as scores left their cars stranded and found other means to arrive to the festival grounds.

Woodstock itself arrived at a time of great social upheaval in the United States, which was engulfed in an unpopular war in Vietnam that saw many thousands of young adults drafted and subsequently killed in Southeast Asia. Meanwhile back at home, the hippie movement was influencing art, fashion, film and music, as the tagline to the festival — “An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music” — illustrates.

The festival exceeded all expectations — and everyone’s worst case scenarios — when a mini-city spontaneously erected to take in the tunes, and many mind-altering substances, throughout the three-day showcase. Among the 30-plus bands on the bill were: The Grateful Dead, The Who, Santana, Sly and the Family Stone, Joan Baez, Hendrix and Jefferson Airplane. A 1970 soundtrack album and documentary film, in which Lang was featured extensively, detailed the scheduling snafus, weather issues and general lack of preparedness for what would turn out to be the seminal cultural moment of the 1960s.

There were plenty of drugs being consumed over those three days. Lang recalled one incident to Variety, when Jerry Garcia passed some acid to Carlos Santana, who thought he had several hours before he had to perform, and then was rushed onstage, high as a kite, only to deliver one of the weekend’s most compelling performances.

“He battled that guitar because he thought it was a serpent,” said Lang.

Woodstock as a pop culture phenomenon, and a baby boomer rite of passage, would extend many years beyond 1969. Look no further than the enduring punchline, uttered by comedian Robin Williams and countless others in the coming decades: “If you can remember Woodstock, you probably weren’t there.”

It was also immortalized in song, notably Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young’s “Woodstock” (written by Joni Mitchell) off the 1970 album “Deja Vu,” and even as recently as 2017, when singer Lana Del Rey released “Coachella – Woodstock in My Mind.”

Woodstock was so powerful as a name that Lang was able to stage two anniversary shows in the coming decades. In 1994, to mark its 25th birthday, Lang co-produced Woodstock ’94 in Saugerties, NY, about 70 miles from the original Bethel site. The festival came to be known as Mudstock after the second and third days of the festival were marked by rainstorms that turned much of the field into a giant mud pit, further memorialized by members of Nine Inch Nails, Green Day and Primus either drenching themselves in mud or having it slung at them by the crowd. The lineup included a mixture of legacy performers from the original festival, like Santana, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Joe Cocker, John Sebastian and Country Joe McDonald, and contemporary alt-rock bands like the Cranberries and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Another commemoration of the festival, Woodstock ’99, was held at a third site altogether, in Rome, NY, and drew about 400,000 attendees in person and many more who watched via pay-per-view. While shy of the gate-crashing and mass muddiness of the ’94 festival, the festival made news for the violence and vandalism of the audience, with Limp Bizkit’s “Break Stuff” becoming the unofficial theme song of a festival destined not to be remembered as emblematic of peace and love. None of the original artists from the 1969 Woodstock were given entire sets this time, although some individual musicians returned as part of others bands. With a distinct emphasis on hip-hop and modern rock, performers included Rage Against the Machine, DMX, Kid Rock, Dave Matthews Band and Metallica as well as a handful of veterans. The lingering bad taste involving the commercialism and reports of sexual assault created difficulties for Lang when he looked toward mounting yet a fourth Woodstock festival in 2019.

Responding to media suspicion and criticism of the two 1990s festivals, Lang distinguished between the legacies of the two. “I can understand (criticism of) the ’99 edition for what happened at the end, but ’94 was fantastic,” he told Pollstar, citing the performances in 1994 by Nine Inch Nails, Green Day and Sheryl Crow.

In 2019, Lang’s ultimately unsuccessful attempts to produce a 50th anniversary Woodstock festival suffered a series of insurmountable setbacks after announcing a bill of heavy hitters that was to include Jay-Z, Miley Cyrus and Dead and Company performing Aug, 16-18 in Watkins Glen, NY.  Backers of the Woodstock 50 festival — financial partner Dentsu and its investment division Amplifi — pulled their support in April after an initial investment of more than $32 million, setting off lawsuits. But Lang’s biggest problem was getting permits from local authorities, which were short in coming even after a change of location and a capacity finally set at a lowly 75,000 before Lang finally gave in and pulled the plug.

Said Lang of its demise when speaking to Variety in August 2019: “It was just one bizarre thing after another, but I definitely feel lighter.”

Lang still believed that Woodstock and the counterculture it represented was an incubator for social changes leading up all the way up to the present day. “It wasn’t just entertainment; it was more about the social issues. They were part of our generation,” he told Pollstar. “Woodstock offered an environment for people to express their better selves, if you will. Give them that, and it seems to work. It was probably the most peaceful event of its kind in history.” He allowed that, originally, “it was a commercial venture meant to make money for our partners.” But ultimately, he added, “The first Earth Day came right after Woodstock. Women’s rights… Then there was the inauguration of Barack Obama, Washington’s Woodstock. Those are things that grew out of those times and evolved. Two steps forward, one step back, sometimes three steps back.”

Lang is survived by his wife Tamara, their sons Harry and Laszlo, and his daughters LariAnn, Shala and Molly.

His music was of the times ( I was in Jr High during BOOH)
I thought he was a very strong actor. Rocky Horror, Fight Club, Crazy in  Alabama...all terrific roles that he shined in (ok, Playing Eddie in RHPS was not so much a stretch, but fun!!)

I loved when Christopher Lee introduced him on SNL:
"And now Ladies and Gentlemen...I'd like you to meet....LOAF!"



From the Washington Post On Line:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/meat-loaf-tributes-pour-in-as-fans-remember...


Tributes have flowed in from across the world after the death of idiosyncratic rock star Meat Loaf was announced by his family Friday.

Meat Loaf, whose given name was Marvin Lee Aday, died at age 74. The cause was not disclosed.

“Our hearts are broken,” a statement on his official Facebook page said, announcing the death of the “incomparable” singer. He died surrounded by his wife, Deborah, daughters Pearl and Amanda and close friends, the statement added.

“We know how much he meant to so many of you and we truly appreciate all of the love and support as we move through this time of grief in losing such an inspiring artist and beautiful man.”

His career spanned six decades in which he sold over 100 million albums worldwide, with “Bat Out of Hell,” his breakthrough in 1977, making him a household name — it remains one of the top 10 selling albums of all time.

Among those paying tribute Friday was singer Cher, who said she had “So Much Fun With Meatloaf.”

Boy George, British lead singer of Culture Club, also expressed his condolences, recalling Meat Loaf “once turned me upside down in a Chinese Restaurant” in London, he wrote on Twitter.

British comedian and author Stephen Fry also remembered collaborating with the rock star.

“I hope paradise is as you remember it from the dashboard light, Meat Loaf,” he tweeted in reference to his song. “Had a fun time performing a sketch with him on Saturday Live way back in the last century … he had the quality of being simultaneously frightening and cuddly, which is rare and rather wonderful.”

Journalist Piers Morgan called Meat Loaf “one of rock music’s all-time great characters” and hailed his “seminal” “Bat Out of Hell” album. “A wondrously talented, flamboyant, funny, outrageous and rebellious chameleon. Sad news,” Morgan wrote.

Known for flamboyant performances and theatrical vocal style, Dallas-born Meat Loaf created a persona fans remember fondly. They took to social media to recount what the star meant to them.

“You will forever be one of the musical accompaniments to my core memories,” one fan wrote on Facebook.

“He wasn’t just that voice. The passion & energy he gave to songs, and audiences was so unique. Truly one in a million,” a fan on Twitter said.

“Well, it’s gonna be bloody loud and bloody fun in the afterlife tonight,” tweeted another.

Some lamented the mystery of “that” would never be uncovered, pointing to the lyrics of his song: “I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That).” Others took a more lighthearted approach, sharing quotes from the singer and popular memes.

His family asked for privacy but had a message for fans: “From his heart to your souls … don’t ever stop rocking!”

Because of that song, many think that is the only kind of music they do, but thay have great stuff, their guitarrist, Robin Trower left the band to make more rock and blues oriented music, he even has albums with Jack Bruce of the Cream... now that you can listen music on streaming platforms check some music by both, Procol Harum and Robin Trower... and Gary as soloist

Start with Salty Dog

Saw him once with Ringo's All Star Band. He was good. Nice voice. Always thought PH was very underrated.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/10/entertainment/emilio-delgado-obituary/index.html

Emilio Delgado, ‘Sesame Street’s’ Luis for more than 40 years, has died

By Brian Lowry, CNN
Updated 8:18 PM EST, Thu March 10, 2022


Emilio Delgado, who spent more than 40 years entertaining generations of children playing the Fix-It Shop owner Luis on “Sesame Street,” has died, according to his manager.

He was 81.

“We are saddened by the news of Emilio’s passing. Emilio was an immense talent who brought so much joy and smiles to his fans. He will be missed by many and we know his legacy will live on. Our thoughts are with his loved ones, including his wife, Carole,” Robert Attermann, CEO of A3 Artists Agency, told CNN in a statement.

The actor died Thursday at his home in New York City. He had been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer, in 2020, according to a report from TMZ, citing his wife.

Delgado had remained active in theater, starring in “Quixote Nuevo,” a version of “Don Quixote,” before the pandemic struck in early 2020. His extensive stage work included serving as artistic director of the Barrio Theatre Ensemble of East Los Angeles.

Still, he’ll be best remembered for the popular children’s program. Delgado had cited the PBS show’s importance as a cultural touchstone in the way people of color were depicted on TV.

“For the first time on television, they showed Latinos as real human beings,” Delgado told the Houston Chronicle in 2020. “We weren’t dope addicts. We weren’t maids or prostitutes, which were the way we were being shown in television and in film. Here, on ‘Sesame Street,’ there were different people who spoke different languages and ate interesting foods, and they were all Americans.”

“A beloved member of the Sesame family for over 50 years, his warmth and humor invited children to share a friendship that has echoed through generations,” Sesame Workshop said of Delgado in a statement to CNN. “At the forefront of representation, Emilio proudly laid claim to the ‘record for the longest-running role for a Mexican-American in a TV series.’ We are so grateful he shared his talents with us and with the world.”

Beyond “Sesame Street,” Delgado appeared in such series as “Law & Order,” and early in his career in the dramas “Lou Grant” and “Falcon Crest.” He also co-starred in the 1975 TV movie “I Will Fight No More Forever,” a true story about Nez Perce Native American leader Chief Joseph.

Delgado was born in Calexico, Calif., but raised by his grandparents on the other side of the US-Mexican border in Mexicali.

Yeah the Foo Fighters are quite basic, but there is just no doubt
about how much joy they bring to their salt-of-the-earth fans.
and Taylor Hawkins was the source of a great deal of that
energy. On SNL Mick made it clear how much he appreciated the
way Hawkins backed him.

Condolences to all Foo fans, they are really hurting right now.
He's their Charlie, and that's not an exaggeration. One of the
most loved drummers in the business.

I have tried to walk away from this story but...

1) I don't like the Foos ignoring what seems to me to be a sort of character
assassination being carried out against Hawkins

2) Even the easily corrupted police there say they only found "traces" of
this or that substance. Nobody dies of traces

3) An ambulance had been called because he had chest pains

4) If you recall in January an unspecified member of the band had
been rushed off a plane to a hospital in Chicago causing them to
cancel their UAE show

5) Prior to the pandemic Hawkins had been an anti-vax activist, but
of course that was no longer possible given Grohl's decision to become
a pro-vax activist

6) there are credible reports of an enlarged heart and numerous
rumours about myocarditis. But that's enough about that topic...

7) rolling stone mag just published an unedited interview with
Hawkins from a few months ago. Its long but because its
unedited it gives rare insight into rock and roll

...


Also: his next-to-last performance,
last week, killing it in Chile on lead vocals

I don't think the authorities should have released all this info, but on the other hand what are the Foo Fighters to do? I mean, obviously this is as shocking as it can get and they're in mourning.

There was some earlier interview in which he'd mentioned his heart was somewhat bigger and the doctor had told him it was because of all his working out, drumming etc. I haven't heard the bit about myocarditis. There's been some apalling behavior online where anti-vaxxers are trying to blame his death on the vaccine! I mean, you'd think people weren't gonna fall so low, but hey, here they are! This is so beyond horrendous that I'm not even going to go into that.

It's just immensely sad that such a talented, beautiful human being died so young. I remember his "RIP Charlie" on his drumset. AND a hardcore Queen fan too. I mean I had the man in my heart. This is just so sad.

What can Grohl do ???!!! He can issue a statement unreservedly
defending his best friend against all this slander...

In their recently released, still-in-theaters slasher "Studio 666",
Dave Grohl goes nuts and kills everybody in the band to start
his solo career (the story is by Grohl and is of course a joke).
Here's some "funny" scenes





I've been horrified by the Bono-fication of Grohl during the pandemic,
and i'm triply horrified by him now

Freud says jokes often contain more truth than was intended.

Mick was so right and so ahead-of-the-curve in making a mockery
of Grohl with Easy Sleazy. The dude has sold his soul and
betrayed his very sweet, very naive fans.

Not sure what you're trying to say, Rev.

Are we actually using a piece of fiction, in which they all played roles, to suggest Grohl had anything to do with Hawkins' death? I mean, dude!! For real!

I mean this exact combination of random conspiracy theory / Grohl did it / check out the movie / he doesn't have tears on his eyes on the one photo that got leaked / the vaccine was to blame - this is the craziness I've been reading on Twitter for the last two days and had me rolling my eyes so bad my head hurts. I mean, heck.

I mean what is it? Is it the disbelief that death can be random? The need to find a villain, a reason? Something to justify anti-vaxxers' for not getting the vaccine? What on earth gives birth to these crazy stories?

i didnt say anything about grohl doing anything to hawkins in columbia

i have no confirmed info about hawkins' health. i have only the info
i stated, not what anyone decides to read into it

what i said clearly is that grohl has become an asshole, allowing his
deceased mate to be slandered (so that nobody looks further into
exactly what led to this sad situation). and i said that grohl's slasher
movie shows him as an asshole, even though he didnt mean it to

he meant it as a joke, but its not a joke, he has become the exact
kind of asshole that bono became when he started building towers
to his passing, to his fame everlasting

but here He comes chopping and reaping, hear Him laugh at
their cheating

This is the way to listen a 7" single... just one or two songs, then decide what's next, of course high on the best weed, my brother showing the single to play, so pay attention, you're going to listen A SONG!

Today's kids listen long playlists or let Spotify decide the songs


Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

...

well, now it's a 12" LP on the floor but the weed remains the best in town!  Cool Cool Cool

Pass it on bro!

Today is the anniversary of the death of Jerry Garcia.
27 years ago.
This is the time of year Deadheads call the "Days Between" (after the song), meaning the days between his birth on Aug 1 and death on Aug 9.

I went to approx 90 Dead shows and 15 Jerry shows.
The JGB was always HOT! The Dead, well, not always...

https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/entertainment/music/story/2020-08-10/jerry-...

EDIT:
A side note...on that night, I went to go see The RAMONES...that nite, in true punk rock spirit...Johnny wore a t-shirt saying "I'll be grateful when Jerry's dead". It had some dopey cartoon drawing of Jerry dead...it was crushing and funny at the same time.

no great surprise considering his age and ill-health (saw a photo of him last week being presented with an award by Kris Kristofferson as he was too ill to attend the ceremony and was confined to bed and the impression I got was that he didnt have much time left). Then, of course there was the false TMZ report early this week that he'd passed on.

Nonetheless, a sad day. The last of the first wave of rock 'n' rollers and for me, second only to Elvis as the greatest from that era. I'm actually even more a fan of his 'second' career as a country artist.  I don't think he had any equals as a country singer - maybe only George Jones.

Bob Dylan is on tour in Europe this month. The setlist for each show has been identical so far, but tonight he closed the show in Nottingham with this. A great choice. I hope he keeps it in for the shows I'll be seeing in Glasgow and Dublin in the next week or so



I only got to see The Killer once, when he joined Springsteen onstage at a show in Dublin in 1993. He basically took over the whole show and played Great Balls of Fire and Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.  35,000 people were there to see Bruce, who seemed perfectly happy to play second fiddle for ten minutes and was in so much awe of him that he had the facial expression of a 6 year old kid on Christmas morning who had got every single present he'd asked from Santa.

Do yourself a favour and play the 'Live at the Star Club Hamburg' album from 1964. Electrifying stuff.

then there's this from the same era.

Yes, very sorry here too, even that I like more the Peter Green years of Fleetwood Mac, she was into blues before joining FM, Chicken Shack was a good band, and the albums of FM before Stevie and Lindsey were great too. Those with Lindsey and Stevie were good too, but not with the same feeling

Her last performance was the show by Mick Fleetwood and Friends to help Peter Green, just before the covid pandemic, here one of the songs she played, "Stop Messin' around" the other was "Looking for Somebody", Bill Wyman was in that show but with Jeremy, not Christine

Words from Ronnie

🙏Now Jeff has gone, I feel like one of my band of brothers has left this world, and I’m going to dearly miss him. I’m sending much sympathy to Sandra, his family, and all who loved him. I want to thank him for all our early days together in Jeff Beck Group, conquering America.

Musically, we were breaking all the rules, it was fantastic, groundbreaking rock ’n’ roll! Listen to the incredible track ‘Plynth’ in his honour. Jeff, I will always love you. God bless 🙏❤️

Such a great, understated talent.
So respected by peers and fans alike.
Blow By Blow and Wired were played in the dorms all the time...
You didn't even have to own them, you just heard them all the time.

RIP JB!

That generation of musicians are unfortunately at the age where this will be a lot more common in the next few years.

Apart from being a magical guitar player, the breadth of his tastes often goes unnoticed. He played all kinds of music from everywhere and made his guitars sing.

Finally Keith spoke:

I am very sad to hear about Jeff’s passing. He was a brilliant guitar player. On the occasions we got to play together, we had a ball. “Let’s do this more often”, we said! Jeff was a great guy and will be missed by all. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

Eight High Miles (Clark, McGuinn, Crosby)

Clark began writing the song's lyrics on November 24, 1965, when he scribbled down some rough ideas for later development, after a discussion with guitarist Brian Jones, before the Byrds made a concert appearance supporting the Rolling Stones. Over the following days, Clark expanded this fragment into a full poem, eventually setting the words to music and giving them a melody.[2] Clark then showed the song to McGuinn and Crosby. McGuinn suggested that the song be arranged to incorporate Coltrane's influence.[2] Since Clark's death, however, McGuinn has contended it was he who conceived the initial idea of writing a song about an airplane ride and that he and Crosby both contributed lyrics to Clark's unfinished draft.[2] In his book, Mr. Tambourine Man: The Life and Legacy of the Byrds' Gene Clark, author John Einarson disputes this claim and ponders whether McGuinn's story would be the same if Clark was still alive


The above from Wikipedia

Here from McGuinn, directly https://twitter.com/rogermcguinn/status/1110933856335601665?lang=en

this from Song Facts

According to Gene Clark, Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones had a hand in writing this song. In a 1983 interview, he said:

"I wrote the song and presented it to McGuinn and Crosby on tour - we were on a bus tour at the time, and we were listening to a lot of John Coltrane, a lot of Ravi Shankar, and they helped me finish the song. The melody and lyrics I wrote myself in a hotel room with Brian Jones in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania."

Asked if Jones wanted a credit, Clark said, "He didn't care. It just came out of a conversation."

Another Yardbird passed away... Top Topham, the original lead guitar player of The Yardbirds died yesterday. He was replaced by Eric Clapton, then came Jeff Beck and then Jimmy Page

The reason he left the band was that his parents did not give him permission to play in pubs late at night and go on tour with the band!!!

Anthony ‘Top’ Topham, the Original Yardbirds Guitarist, Dead At Age 75

Anthony ‘Top’ Topham, the first guitarist for The Yardbirds, has died just two weeks after his successor Jeff Beck. He was 75.

if anything, I think it was the others' relationship with Crosby that was probably the biggest reason why it was unlikely to ever happen.

I haven't read Stills' tribute on hearing of his passing, but the ones issued by both Nash and Young seemed a bit guarded, with the emphasis on remembering the good times and adopting the old adage of 'don't speak ill of the dead'

I did happen to catch the CSNY tour back on the 00s in DC.
Fantastic show...

https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/crosby-stills-nash-and-young/2002/mci-center-wash...

The latest riff between Young and Crosby stemmed from some comments Crosby made regarding Young's marriage to Darryl Hannah.
Those comments were made on The Howard Stern Show a few years back...

The Rolling Stones song that inspired Television’s Tom Verlaine to pick up a guitar

Tom Taylor
SAT 8TH OCT 2022 20.00 BST

And at the beginning, there is one Rolling Stones anthem that encouraged him to pick up an axe in the first place. As a boy, he was trained as a classical pianist. The guitar seemed a little more vapid to him when it came to rock ‘n’ roll, but the atmospheric ways of Keith Richards would soon change all that. The track that changed his mind was the Stones’ 1966 epic: ‘19th Nervous Breakdown’.

Thanks Thomas, no idea who he was, but now that I read this article I know some of his songs since I was a little kid!

Here a local tribute

Here the Rolling Stone article, 94 years old!

Lynyrd Skynyrd opened for the Stones in 1976 with Gary playing

I found these references here on this message board

by CS

Years later, Ronnie pissed off Mick Jagger when Lynyrd Skynrd opened for the Rolling Stones in 1976.
After smoking pot with Jack Nicholson, according to Gary Rossington, the band was especially loose for their opening slot with the Stones at Knebworth Park in the U.K. At the climax of a rousing set, Ronnie encouraged his guitarists to solo on the stage's extending ramp – in the shape of the Stones' famous tongue logo. "Mick Jagger was mad," says Rossington. "It took their breath away to see how well we went over and how we broke their only rule: don't go out on the tongue."

Poor Jim, he murdered his own mother with a hammer, but he was in critical mental health already diagnosed before the incident. That's why we have mental hospitals, they belong there

Strange the article does not mention Traffic, he was a member of the band, he also played with Bobby Keys in his solo album, also Frank Zappa, Dr. John, Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills & Nash, BB King, Freddy King and a lot more

RIP Jim!

Sorry, I wrote that without reading any "updated" information, it was undiagnosed at the moment of the incident. His physicians misdiagnosed the problems and instead treated him for alcohol abuse

RIP Ryuichi Sakamoto (1952 - 2023)

To be honest, this is the first time I read something about him, but this was posted at David Bowie's official account on Twitter

REST IN PEACE RYUICHI SAKAMOTO

“Here am I, a lifetime away from you...”

Sad to learn of the passing of actor, composer, and producer
@ryuichisakamoto
. The renowned Japanese artist passed on Tuesday 28th March aged 71.

He won awards - including an Oscar, a Grammy and Bafta - for his work as a solo artist and as a member of the Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO).

He co-starred in the film Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence with David Bowie in 1983, and today’s lyric quotation is from the song Forbidden Colours (a vocal version of the main theme) which he performed and composed with David Sylvian for the film’s soundtrack.

David and Ryuichi are seen here in a picture taken in Japan by Denis O'Regan in 1983.

#BowieSakamoto   #MerryChristmasMrLawrence

He had a UK no1 with Out of Time.  The only Jagger/Richard song to reach no1 by anvartist other than the Stones.

Edit: This now appears to be fake news so ignore this.

Obviously good news that he's still alive and well

There might only be a handful, if that, of people who come into your world and truly enrich your life. I have lost one of my closest buddies. He certainly enriched my life because of the person and the great player he was. John Regan was the best of us. He went out of his way to help people when things weren’t right. It didn’t matter who you were, prince or pauper.

I know there are many of you out there who knew him. He was a friend to all. Always musically inspiring and one of the funniest people on the planet.

My thoughts are with his wife Cathy, his children, Christopher and Jeness and his grandchildren. I love you my brother you will be missed by so many.

rest in peace
- Peter Frampton April 6, 2023

Fun fact

The harmonica you hear on Harry's 1962 version of 'Midnight Special' is the first ever recording that features Bob Dylan (his first session was with Carolyn Hester, but this was released first - just before his first album came out).

Bob's session fee was $50. 



47 years later, Bob would nick a few lines and some of the melody for 'If You Ever Go To Houston'

Touching post by Bernice King the daughter of Martin Luther King Jr.

When I was a child, #HarryBelafonte showed up for my family in very compassionate ways.

In fact, he paid for the babysitter for me and my siblings.

Here he is mourning with my mother at the funeral service for my father at Morehouse College.

I won’t forget…Rest well, sir.

He was brilliant, I gotta admit I just have a few records with him and a lot of things he did that have not even listened but have some material from Curved Air, Sky and guest appearances with many

In addition to his work with Curved Air, Sky and his solo albums he worked with Kate Bush, Rennaisance, Brian Eno, Alan Parsons, Alan Howkshaw, Phil Manzanera, Camel, the SPLHCB by Peter Frampton and Bee Gees (nobody's perfect LOL),

he cowrote this one from The Quest by Yes (2021)



Here the few records I have with his bands, and have some of his guest appearances with other artists

Such sad news. I knew she hadn't been in good health in recent years but didnt see this one coming.

What an icon.

Oddly enough, I was just thinking of her last night as I watched John Fogerty end his Dublin show with 'Proud Mary', using the revved up Ike & Tina arrangement

As you know, I use to post obis to honor any rock-related musician as soon as I know, even some great musicians that maybe I’m the only one on this board who is familiar with or actors like Richard Belzer, only rock related for his brilliant and funny impersonation of Mick Jagger dancing!

But today was different

Early in the morning, I received a WhatsApp message from Gazza with the sad news, the only thing I did was to change the header, didn’t have words to express my feeling I was devastated

This Friday we were going to do a Pete Brown radio show, but we're going to do a Tina Turner show.

Rest in peace, rest in love Tina, I love you!

She had been fighting health issues.
Saw her twice open for the Stones in 81.
Saw her at the infamous show at The "old" Ritz in 84,
(a roommates brother who worked there got us tkts).

A talent, beauty, stage presence, and personality, second to none...
OK, Maybe Jagger ties for that...but she had legs that didn't stop!
They were a force toe performed together.

RIP Miss Turner.

From Bill Wyman

Tina Turner was a ‘Force of Nature’ onstage

I knew her for 3 decades

Whenever we met, she was always friendly and humerus

And she would refer to me as ‘Mr Cool’

She will be sorely missed

From Keith!

I am so saddened to hear of Tina’s passing. There is so much I would like to say about her but feel I am at a loss for words.

She was the most wonderful and warm person with whom I’ve been friends since the early 60’s. She was one dynamic performer I ever have known. She had a great voice and a beautiful feel for a song.  I will miss her forever! My deepest condolences to her family.

Rest in Peace, Tina!

More sad news today. Reading now from a few sources online (Marcelo, Stonesdoug, etc) that James Phelge has passed away.

I know he had been ill for some time. His last twitter post 5 months ago mentioned that he had been ill for 9 months and needed kidney dialysis 3 times a week.

If his book 'Phelge's Stones' (also published as 'Nankering with the Stones' ) isn't in your collection, it really should be.  It's an utterly hilarious account of his time living with Mick, Keith and Brian in Edith Grove in 1962-63.

RIP James.

Carla Bley, Jazz Composer, Arranger and Provocateur, Dies at 87

Her music, which ranged from chamber miniatures to blaring fanfares, was suffused with a slyly subversive attitude.

Just been told that Ronnie Schneider, who managed the Stones' 1969 tour and the Altamont show and was executive producer of the 'Gimme Shelter' movie, passed away a few days ago.

He would have been 80 today.

He used to post on IORR quite a bit and was very good at interracting with the Stones' fanbase. He was kind enough to send me a copy of his book  'Out of Our Heads, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and Me' when we plugged it on here a few years back.

Rest in Peace, Ronnie

Mars Williams, Sax Player for Psychedelic Furs and Waitresses, Dies at 68

...

On a personal note:

Mars was a friend and a great sax player.
I got the news of his death the next day on my way to Paris...I felt this would be a nice place to post this.
I've seen the Furs play maybe 20 times...I even had my bachelor party at a Furs concert.
I saw him (and the band) in September. He looked well, played incredibly but was clearly tired.
I know he was happy to play regardless of his condition.

Psychedelic Furs fans didnt really know about his avant-garde efforts.
They are regarded by many as barrier breaking.
He played with so many artists in the 80's and 90's, you never even knew it was him.

I heard the seminal "Christmas Wrapping" yesterday at the market.
My eyes swelled up.
You are missed my friend.
Thank you for all the great times on and off stage.
RIP Mars!



https://variety.com/2023/music/obituaries-people-news/mars-williams-dead-saxopho...

Mars Williams, a saxophone player known for his work as a member of the Waitresses and later the Psychedelic Furs, died Monday at age 68.

His hometown newspaper the Chicago Tribune first confirmed Williams’ passing and reported that the cause of death was ampullary cancer. Williams was diagnosed with the rare cancer a year ago.

Williams’ sax was a key element of the Waitresses during the group’s short but impactful two-album tenure in 1980-83, heard on the signature songs “Christmas Wrapping,” “Square Pegs” and “I Know What Boys Like” as well as saxophone-heavy deep cuts like the title track of their “Bruiseology” LP.

The Waitresses’ split roughly coincided with Williams being asked by the Psychedelic Furs asking him to sit in for their absent resident sax man on an overseas tour in 1983, which turned into a tenure that extended through 1989. He then resumed his work with the Furs from 2005 through his final tour dates with the band, which wrapped up just last month in October.

Most of Williams’ work fell on the jazz side, however, particularly with ensembles with an experimental bent.

Among the dozens of groups he played with, Williams was for 25 years a member of the Chicago group Liquid Soul, which picked up a Grammy nomination for best contemporary jazz record in 2001. “Poised to rattle your headspace, Chicago’s premier funk-jazz ensemble Liquid Soul have been combining bebop with hip-hop since 1994 with muscular horns, tongue-cutting rappers, and turntable-infested rhythms,” wrote the Village Voice.

Downtown jazz legend John Zorn wrote liner notes for an album Williams did with Hal Russell in 1984 and called him “one of the true saxophone players — someone who takes pleasure in the sheer act of blowing the horn. This tremendous enthusiasm is an essential part of his sound, and it comes through each note every time he plays. Whatever the situation, Mars plays exciting music. In many ways he has succeeded in redefining what versatility means to the modern saxophone player.”

Among the rock and jazz musicians Williams played with live or on record, as listed on his website, were Billy Idol (on the “Rebel Yell” tour), the Killers, Power Station, Wayne Kramer, Ministry, Bill Laswell, Charlie Hunter, Dirty Projectors, Billy Squier, DJ Logic, John Scoffield, Kurt Elling, Jerry Garcia and the Untouchables.

Williams’ unique sensibility could be found in how every year, up through 2022, he led what was billed as “an Ayler Xmas Tour,” combining the music of free-jazz great Albert Ayler with Christmas carols.

Williams led or participated in many other ensembles as well, including the NRG Ensemble, Trio No Mas, the Chicago Reed Quartet, the Mars Williams Music Book Orchestra and Boneshaker. Among his better-heard recent recordings was a sax solo on Kesha’s cover of “Children of the Revolution” on a T. Rex tribute album produced by the late Hal Willner.

The musician was born in Elmhurst, Illinois in 1955 and came up playing classical clarinet for 10 years, under the influence of his trumpet-playing father, before switching to saxophone. He cited Eric Dolphy, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker as his first major influences, falling under the sway of Ornette Coleman later on.

Williams had been sober for 20 years and was active with helping struggling fellow musicians through the MusiCares program.

A show this coming Saturday night at Chicago’s Metro had been designed as a benefit for his medical care, but will now serve as a celebration-of-life event. Richard Butler, Zachary Alford and Rich Good of Psychedelic Furs, Ike Reilly and Jeff Coffin of the Dave Matthews Band are expected to sit in on a concert led by Williams’ longtime bandmates in Liquid Soul.

This is not rock related at all, but boy... I watched Franz during the 1970 FIFA World Cup... during the semfinal he dislocated his shoulder and continue playing, that match was considered the  "Game of the Century" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy_v_West_Germany_(1970_FIFA_World_Cup)

Here, Franz with Gerd Müller who was the top Goalscorer that cup and our boyz, no idea about the author, but thank you!!

BBC Radio 1 DJ Annie Nightingale ages 83.  She was still on the airwaves until late last year.

In the 80s was considered the 2nd best DJ by students behind John Peel.

In the 70s She had a Sunday afternoon show and one week decided to play Star Star being unaware of the lyrics.  Needless to say the song was swiftly removed from the turntable and Annie got in a bit of trouble, putting it lightly.

RIP.

Annie was my favourite BBC Radio DJ in that era. Loved her Sunday evening show.

She was good on Old Grey Whistle Test too, although one of my favourite memories was a notorious gaffe on her part in a filmed clip of her interviewing Paul Simon. Amazingly they didn't edit it out.

Wow, it's a great version, didn't know that.

Checking Nico's website she did 4 different studio versions of Ruby Tuesday plus a 12" Remix, one version of Wild Horses, one of Jig-Saw Puzzle and one of "As Tears Go By"


Jig-Saw Puzzle:

Wild Horses:

As Tears Go By:
