Phantom

Just got back from seeing Nick Lowe at the Dakota Jazz Room in Minneapolis. He's in fine form. Performed an hour and a half long solo acoustic set with 2 encores.

Murray Walker

I'm guessing 15. Yes, I know someone else said 15, but you asked how many hits. That's how many I think there will be.

Gina Lollobrigida

I think it's because of the track "Talkin' Hawking" . Perhaps in honour of Stephen Hawking.

Lawrence Ferlinghetti. No health issues that I know of, just that he is up there in age. He turns 100 in March.

No, Vera Ramone King (Dee Dee's first wife) was the one who went for brain surgery.

Just heard that Rosana Cummings, first wife of John Cummings (Johnny Ramone) has died.

Mel Smith was on Celebrity Mastermind, and if I remember correctly, he died the following year.

Other than this blog site, I can't find any other source confirming this.

Another update: Bobby's surgery went well. He is currently recovering in ICU.

Update: Bobby's surgery was postponed until this morning. He is currently in surgery as I type this

I managed to get halfway through last night. I have heard a few before, just had no idea who the artist/band was.

Bobby Balderrama, guitarist for ? And the Mysterians, is undergoing heart surgery today

Shirley Boone wife of Pat Boone is in failing health.

I did part of my list while at work during my breaks. I have yet to sit down to review your list. Managed to install Spotify at home. So in the next few days I can sit down and give them a listen.

I only just posted mine for Deathray. These things take time. Not only is it a case of finding the tracks online, but they're also a reflection of your music tastes and your character. Trying to whittle it down to just 20 songs is one hell of a task.

@Deathray ok it took me a while as I haven't been at my pc much in the evening. So here goes. I've included Youtube links for each song. Count Five – Psychotic Reaction The Shaynes – From My Window The Vogues – Five O’Clock World Deke Dickerson - Nightmare of a Woman Planet Rockers – Voodoo Woman Ronnie Dawson - Just Rockin and Rollin Carter USM – Rubbish Vibro Champs – I’ll Do Anything The Nightcrawlers - Little Black Egg Los Straitjackets - Space Mosquito The Outta Sites - Arula Mata Gali Question Mark & The Mysterions - 96 Tears Mohammed Rafi - Jaan Pehchan Ho Terry Noland - Fungus Among Us The Collins Kids - Hot Rod Freddy Cannon - Palisades Park John Otway & Wild Willy Barrett - Louisa On A Horse El Vez - En El Barrio Stiff Little Fingers - At The Edge New Model Army - 51st State

It's ok. I admit that when I first saw the article posted in thought it said "Stranglers", then I thought, I don't remember him ever being in any incarnation of the band

He played with The Strangers, not the Stranglers

Due to doctor's orders, Jerry has had to cancel his gig in Nashville tonight. The show has been rescheduled to July 1st 2019.

I need to wrack my brain for 20 tunes that I enjoy listening to with enough variety. There will be some cross-over tunes as some musicians I know are in 4 or 5 bands simultaneously.

I had it on my previous pc, but that crashed a few months ago. I just haven't got round to putting everything back on.

R.I.P. Pete Shelley

Ok so now I have to install Spotify
