Various reports coming in that original Comets drummer and occasional back-up singer Dick Richards has died aged 95: Surprisingly did most of the stage work and drums on the early recordings seem to have been done by session musos.

Placed my oven ready team with Sir C a few hours ago, just so I don't forget.

David Graham is 94 today!

With Denise Nickerson being a good pick to "chews" Sean picks up a unique hit. No bonuses though early days, leaderboard updated.

Ok so the most vociferous denier Brendan Grace was dead now says he's dead: No doubt it will be confirmed if it is so.

Twittersphere says Brendan Grace dead. Edit: Also says not dead. Good ole Twitter.

Valentina Cortese QO: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/jul/10/valentina-cortese-obituary

We have a first unique hit of 2019, with msc being the only player to pick the great Freddie Jones. msc now joins the top of the leaderboard in a three-way tie.

Freddie Jones was one of this country's finest character actors. Relegating him to this thread kinda does him an injustice. He will always be one of those Ghosts of Motley Hall to me. Although his appearance in Never Too Young To Rock is one of the moments of my formative days! Here's a bit of it...

This Country's Slugs' death puts a number of teams in the fast lane. Grim Up North jumps into a share of the lead with Captain Chorizo. Skinny Kiltrunner joins the leaderboard. Bonus: Joey Russ hits an A - 5 Additional Points. Leaderboard updated.

And it's Tuesday. Not sure I have a Tues Muse readily available though...but the day is young!

Tentatively considered by me for this year, sigh. Instead I went for the ill crowd most of whom live.
