Just saw that, shocker

I know Dennis Canavan and he's still very active, goes to the gym regularly and does a lot of cycling. It is really tragic right enough that his four children died before him.

Here's one of the posts from a friend of his Robert Williams I'm absolutely devastated to hear word of the passing of Roddy Jackson, a true Rock n Roll original and a dear friend. Known as "The Central Valley Fireball", Roddy had a lifetime passion for music, starting with his first group at the age of 12, The Dreamers, followed by the famed (Merced) Blue Notes, a racially mixed R&B/Rock n Roll outfit. The group auditioned for Specialty Records in 1957, which led to Roddy being signed as a solo artist thanks to Specialty's young A&R man, Sonny Bono. I had the absolute pleasure of getting to know Roddy as a friend in more recent decades as he headlined all the top Rockabilly festivals throughout the world. My heart goes out to his lovely wife Kate Jackson, like Roddy, a sweetheart of a human being.

Confirmed on FB about Roddy Jackson https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=roddy jackson

@Great Uncle Bulgaria could you check your post as you seem to have a few on wrong score e.g. Blondie Heart of Glass should be 21. Bee Gees Tragedy should be 22 and others as well

Bravo to all those involved in running this. I will be entering for the first time, just a quick question about team entries. Do you need a separate spreadsheet for each team or can you just add a new Sheet for any additional teams? TIA

@Toast you need to add in Slik on 4 points. I had missed them out on my post but edited them back in couple of minutes later. Think you must have copied my pre-edit post, sorry

Nothing better than 50,000 fans belting out Yes Sir, I Can Boogie under the lights at Hampden.

Just watching Brazil v Switzerland and Ronaldo (the original one) is in the crowd, he hasn't half put on the pounds. He was always a good build but looks well overweight for someone aged 46
