Lost a few baseball greats in the last few weeks.
Mays, Rose, Tiant, Valenzuela all lost in the last few months.
An old Vegas show staple passed today. Jack Jones
♫ ♫ The loooooove boat, soon we will be making another run, the loooooooove boat ♫ ♫
His turn of singing love boat in the movie Airplane was gold.
The Grateful Dead’s Phil Lesh died today at 84. His bass lines were really cool. Much more complicated and melodic than a lot of people give him credit for. Fare thee well.
I just saw this. As a forum member with a point to place “Grateful” in my moniker, I must say, this hits particularly hard.
Child prodigy, violinist, cum classical trumpet player studying abstract classical composition at Berkely, and then, San Jose State.
Perfect pitch… Jerry gives him a bass and says " I want you to be my base player" and Phil says “I don’t know how to play bass” and Jerry says, “you’ll figure it out…”
Holy ■■■■!
Serendipity.
The hack cover band I play in is trying* to learn, “I Know You Rider,” to add it to our sets. Our bass player wants to do it right, and has been dazzled and frustrated working on Phil’s bass part. He would be all over the neck. The more I listen and watch video of him playing the more impressed I am.
*Well, most of us are trying. The drummer is putting in minimal effort. I’m about done with the guy.
You just can’t trust drummers.
Especially when they wear an old mumu dress
For my own mental halth Ive been avoiding much if any football news,… this whole greek tragedy is just killing me inside.
What is the news about Ludwig and Rising?
Liked his character a lot. Strong silent type. RIP Cochise.
One of my favorite actresses.
She was good n so many films. RIP
People thought Teri and Dave were romantically involved. Their interactions on his show were always entertaining:
She had a strange role, but I loved her in Close Ecounters.
Along with Young Frankenstein, I also loved her in Mr. Mom. That’s a fantastically underrated film. Her small role in Tootsie was notable, as well.
“Put. Ze candle. Back!”
