YouTube video by ArielAr Ralph Towner plays his tune "Always by your side"

We lost a true master today. If you don’t know his music or that of his group, Oregon, you owe it to yourself to listen. One of a kind beauty.
R.I.P. Ralph Towner….

Tom Stoppard, playwright of dazzling wit and playful erudition, dies aged 88 A theatrical sensation since the 1960s, whose dramas included Arcadia, The Real Thing and Leopoldstadt, Stoppard also had huge success as a screenwriter

We’ve lost one of our very greatest playwrights. I’ve loved every play, followed him from the beginning. A true literary rock star whose work will live on stage and in books for a long, long time.
R.I.P. Tom Stoppard.

YouTube video by EagleWatcher Brewer & Shipley " Oh Mommy"

R.I.P. Tom Shipley. If you’re my age, you prob think of Brewer & Shipley as one hit wonders (great song*)but they were fine singers, road warriors, & made really good albums (Tarkio & Shake Off The Demon are faves).
*And Jerry played pedal steel on the great B side.

R.I.P. Mark Volman. From The Turtles, through The Mothers of Invention, Flo & Eddie & backung vocals for T Rex, Blondie, Bruce & many more, he was a uniquely gifted singer, satirist, stage presence. I miss him already.

Oh no. First Ozzy, now Chuck Mangione. This song was a rarity— a big, ubiquitous, jazz instrumental hit. Thanks, Chuck for turning me on to the unique beauties of the flugelhorn.

So, the brilliant, compassionate Sinead loses her career, but Catholics are okay with this?

Interesting...been doing a weekly chronological group listen to her albums. Currently talking about Gone Again. Good medicine for troubled times.

Don't know how I can help, but I do have slogan for you (& Bernie, & the cause):

And, while he may not be a household name, sad to hear of the passing of Dave Bargeron, trombone/tuba player w/Blood, Sweat & Tears through the 1970s.
I can pretty much guarantee you've never heard a tuba solo like this (on a too appropriate tune)....
