VSBfromH 74 Posted August 9, 2010 Jack Parnell The jazz drummer, TV theme-tune writer and bandleader, who was musical director for "The Muppet Show" has died aged 87. Today's fact from Wikipedia: Parnell's son Ric, also a drummer, played the part of Mick Shrimpton in "This is Spinal Tap". Shrimpton was one of the numerous former "Tap" drummers who met various untimely deaths, in his case an on-stage explosion during their Japanese tour.

Ah, good lad! That should put me back in the top ten. All I need now is for Hakimullah Mehsud to get blown up and I'll be laughing. I'm curious to know TMIB - would that BBC/Wiki mash up thing have been enough to get me DDP points? The existence of that page is why I decided to pick him (and Steve New) in the first place.

Spade_Cooley 9,538 Posted September 11, 2010 Noticed yesterday when I Googled James Brown's old tub thumper Clyde Stubblefield that there was no update on his Wiki page since last year when he was awaiting kidney transplant surgery and hoping his friends could raise some money to help with medical bills. None of this looks good for him long term. Tragic when you think he's probably the most sampled musician in history, and gets nothing in return. Looks like it's time to give the drummer some: Stubblefield, 67, who has overcome bladder cancer and is diabetic, nowrequires lifetime kidney dialysis treatment. He remains optimistic as deals with his new situation, determined to work steadily. "I just want to be happy," he says. "Give The Drummer Some!" is a donation campaign created by The Coalition for Clyde Stubblefield for the purpose of helping Stubblefield find financial relief through this process. A website at chipin.com, a service tailored expressly for this purpose, has been established to collect donations which are funneled directly to him safely and securely through PayPal. On the webpage, prospective donators can click on a widget and send the donation amount of their choice. Participants are also encouraged to join The Coalition by spreading the word and embedding the widget on their own websites and social media pages. There are simple instructions on Stubblefield's chipin page for making that work instantly. We're blessed with heavy-hitters onboard from every direction of the music industry. They are our greatest asset for getting people's attention and spreading the word of our effort, explains Stanoch, "We want Clyde to have the opportunity to feel the soulfulness of everyone whose life he has touched as we come together on his behalf.
