Rest in Peace....

Yep Steve R. I recall that popular 1960's hit record "Gimee a little sign"....but do not remember anything
else at all about him

[Kerrins]

Sam Moore one half of the 1960's duo Sam and Dave has died at the age of 89

May his Soul(Man) rest in peace.

A point for both Kerrins & I, as Tony Blackburn mentioned Sam & Brenton on today's show.
And played their songs.
He also said that Peter Jarrow, of Peter, Paul & Mary fame had died.

Very sad new from the Independent........
'Garth Hudson, the wildly talented multi-instrumentalist best known for playing keyboards and saxophone
for The Band, has died. He was 87.

Hudson was the last surviving founding member of the influential Americana band. Guitarist Robbie Robertson
died last year at the age of 80, following drummer Levon Helm who died in 2012 at 71, bassist Rick Danko in 1999 at 55,
and pianist Richard Manuel in 1986 at 42.'

Rest in Peace....and thanks

[Steve Russell]

Sad news, Rest in Peace Marianne....

2 points for me, as Martin gets his obit in the latest Private Eye,
and the cooker man is in all papers.
