Given the attrition rate the Grim Reaper has inflicted on their San Francisco cohorts (basically, you couldn't put a credible version of The Grateful Dead, Big Brother and the Holding Company or the Quicksilver Messenger Service on stage), the Airplane's continued hold on life is impressive. Kantner isn't at death's door, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,061 Posted April 2, 2015 Here as good as anywhere. Billy Butler, soul singer dies at 69. His brother Jerry was picked for DDP, only remains to be seen if Billy gets a UK obit and those who missed him can curse their near miss. http://www.vintagevinylnews.com/2015/04/passings-r-singer-billy-butler-brother.html Edit: Northern Soul: https://youtu.be/1-2ODywKOIg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SC I know that guy wasn't quite as famous as the penis necklace woman whose death mention you liked, but his death wasn't on wikipedia, so it's a bit of added public knowledge. Sab's death was mourned by Kris Kristofferson though, not quite an unknown local musician. Also, unless you get your habit of complaining about every single post on this forum under control, I will complain about every little mistake you make so that I can hurt you where it hurts you most: I will always have more posts than you.

YoungWillz 21,061 Posted April 9, 2015 Just like to add that I find this forum more enlightening every time I visit. It's good to not only learn about the famous and infamous, I also like to read about their sphere of influence and learn new things outside of my own interests (Joel Spira and the dimmer switch I found interesting enough to stop and look deeper into, for example). Near the end of the article on Sab, there were quite a few very famous people he performed with, and again that points out it's not just the famous who make it, but those who help or are part of that success, perhaps not as well known but deserving of our notice here for their lives. Not disliking anything anyone has said, they are entitled to their opinion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
