Death Impends 7,361 Posted November 3, 2016 I'm sure I wasn't alone in having had bassist Bob Cranshaw on my longlist, who had a GoFundMe for aggressive stage 4 cancer and figured would've likely gotten Guardian or Mail obits due to his ties with Sonny Rollins and Sesame Street. Anyways he's dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,011 Posted December 22, 2016 Somewhat questionable obit and perhaps some post-whoring. I accept that. Pianist Betty Loo Taylor (87) widely recognized by local musicians as Hawaiis First Lady of Jazz died early today at Palolo Chinese Home, her husband confirmed. Ken Taylor said his wife had been fighting pneumonia after suffering a stroke about six months ago. She was found unresponsive by nurses during a routine check around 1 a.m. today.
