Bit of a shocker.

Ludovic Kennedy was the next to croak on ‎18th October 2009. Who were the winners?

Interesting he was at school with three-quarters of The Beatles.

Rest well, Peter.

Nostalgia alert! I never saw the film That Summer! but did have a copy of its legendary soundtrack on vinyl, which included Eddie & the Hot Rods' 'Do Anything You Wanna Do". I didn't even realise it was a film soundtrack until years later. Fantastic compilation album which became very sought-after, and was never afaik released on CD.

Songwriters ? But it's fine here as well, as everyone should be in here.

I just woke up to see a few messages on my phone about Barrie's passing. Tragic loss and just as they were wrapping up their farewell tour.

Karel Gott, unlucky 13th in the 1968 Contest with Tausend Fenster for Austria:

Dude; Brings us back to Boris in his Tory leadership speech on July 23. Deliver Brexit. Unite the Country. Defeat Jeremy Corbyn. Energise the Country.

Dude.... I was stopped at a red light, looked over and almost lost it! William Gee advertises constantly on our TV and radio but I guess I had no idea what he looked like. It really is shocking. But I made sure snap a photo for DL.

Link dead. Hoax maybe? Bad reporting? No other reference to stroke yet. It may appear of course. If he’s ready to go up up and away... SC

No idea where to put this, so here. Sometime forum mentioned Bat McGrath, dead: https://eu.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2019/10/01/bat-mcgrath-singer-songwriter-dies-battle-colon-cancer-rochester-ny-guitar-mercury-records/3837286002/

Bit of a skimpy write-up.

Said goodbye to my old guinea pig tonight. He had a wonderful 7 and a half years but his health was declining in recent weeks, and he took a drastic downturn today. I knew it was going to happen in the near future - 7 and a half is very old for a guinea pig - but they go down so quickly that it hits real hard when it actually happens.
