In 1958 there was a training film made called "Basic Snare Drum Technique" by Troxel Music Enterprises, directed by.... James Marvin Troxel. The same James Marvin Troxel also copyrighted music for the 1959 movie Thunder In The Sun, which was filmed in California....

There's a suggestion here eight years ago that Jimmy Troxel may be the same person as Toxey French. They're both drummers and they both seem to turn up in the same scene (both are credited as playing the exact same session roles on the first The Association album for instance). However, the chubster with the glasses here is Jimmy Troxel circa 1960 One of these guys is Toxey French circa 1969. I'm not seeing the similarity....

Missed opportunity to not have "Sashay away..." as the description for this thread.

Perhaps the last great "are you sure they didn't die 20 years ago?" celeb, Zizi Jeanmaire has taken her curtain call aged 95.

Travell Mazion, undefeated US fighter who was being talked about as a possible opponent for Gary O'Sullivan earlier this year before COVID-19 interefered, dead in a car crash at 24.

I notice that social-distancing conventions will be broken at the upcoming Memorial Tournament, and Jack Nicklaus (80) will shake the winner's hand as is tradition...

Trying to distract myself from an upcoming dental appointment. If I'm correct, the only episode of Blankety Blank where every panellist is dead is 23 October 1982 - Lynsey De Paul, Fenella Fielding, Clement Freud, John Junkin, Wendy Richard, Ted Rogers Episodes of Blankety Blank with only one panelist still alive: 9 November 1984 - Keith Barron, Kirsten Cooke, Pat Coombs, John Junkin, Roy Kinnear, Wendy Richard 17 September 1983 - Tim Brooke-Taylor, Lynsey de Paul, Ruth Madoc, Nicholas Parsons, Kathy Staff, Freddie Starr 11 September 1982 - Pat Coombs, Jack Douglas, Kenny Everett, Anita Harris, Patrick Moore, Wendy Richard 13 December 1979 - Pat Coombs, Jack Douglas, Judy Geeson, Keith Harris, David Jacobs, Beryl Reid Two names proved hard to track down. Annabel Etkind has deleted all trace of her past as a harpist and light entertainer, and now works in children's nutrition. However, the whereabouts of Lennie Bennett's one-time comedy partner Albert Pontefract seems to be unknown. Anyone got an idea? UPDATE: If this is the same Albert Pontefract (and it matches up with this and Bennett himself living in Lancashire), then he died in January.

Prediction: Captain Tom will get the DL call-up next year.

Clive Tyldesley categorically denies "health issues" were behind ITV's decision to replace him as lead commentator.

Sunny arrested again...

Yeah, I come from the era of the internet where if someone said a nasty word to you on a forum you doxxed the shit out of them. Good to see those tactics can now be used for positive things.

Deleted my old DDP host files: can the current runners check the databases for The Grey Horde's email address and then run it through Google, see if it brings anything up for MH?

Thought I knew the name and yeah, this is why: Motorcycle Boy got an NME cover in the late 80s because another story got spiked at the very very last minute.

This sounds like the classic "celebrity is on death bed but gets announced as dead by telephone whispers" case, a Ray Price. I give him until Friday.

Further to the bit upthread about the Kingsmen, the Don Gallucci is incorrect. He changed his name to Don Caverhill in the early 70s. Produced The Stooges first album and did a lot of cult film soundtrack work. Here's a video from last year: He's clearly earned enough over the years though from real estate, as this is where he lives:

What was the low point of Glee? Was it Gangam Style? For me it's "Empire State of Mind"

The "deceased 2000s top 10 singles" thread has revealed that a member of Simply Red died in 2017 with not a single mention of his death in any press. John Johnson, saxophone player for the group between 1998 and 2008.
