drol 11,945 Posted March 16, 2019 A fucking nobody is a fucking nobody, doesn't matter what instrument he plays. And only fucking nobodies who can't even afford a Wiki page are dying this month. More seriously I think I'm addicted to death like Berlusconi is addicted to sex and cocaine. I'm enduring tremendous withdrawal symptoms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye, every cloud and that - it's making the compilation of the list of the lost radio show for 2019 quite easy. Dick Dale back to back with Ken Nordine will make an amazing little listen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom 2,533 Posted March 18, 2019 As mentioned in an earlier post Andre Williams has passed away at the age of 82. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few years ago at a gig he performed in Minneapolis. Didn't get a photo with him, but he did autograph a copy of "Hoods and Shades" for me 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
