Mentioned around these parts before, George Jones has been hospitalised with respiratory problems and cancelled all forthcoming concerts.

 

The race is on....

Turns out Loretta Lynn, country singer and minor DDP popular pick, was actually born in 1932, not 1935.

 

Meaning she's worth one less DDP point if she goes.

Today's been a rough day for the world of music. Jon Lord, Bob Babbitt and now Kitty Wells.

And a UK obit means a hit for 3 teams on the DDP.

Willie Nelson cancels an event in Colorado. The host of the fundraiser claims that he was taken to hospital for breathing troubles afterward. He'll be 80 next April.

Just noticed on Wiki that Elliot Carter died and wonder if anyone else has posted yet...

 

Edit... Four hours behind the news, but he was 103 and had an extra stack of years behind him.

The American country singer Wade Hayes, 42, has been diagnosed with advanced colon cancer, according to unconfirmed reports on Twitter.

 

Almost a year after this post, Hayes is now cancer-free.

According to Scandinavian myth when the Ash fails 'tis the end of the world. Holby hasn't been the same since Meyer left, tho Hanson added a certain frisson.

George Jones: The greatest American pop singer ever recorded

 

 

 

 

 

By Matthew Diebel, NBC News

Opinion: Johnny Cash had a stock answer to that oft-asked question, "Who is your favorite singer?" "You mean," he teased, "apart from George Jones?"

Yes, there's pretty much universal agreement among country singers that Jones, who died Friday at age 81, was the greatest of all time. From the oldies -- Cash, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard -- to the relative newbies -- Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Randy Travis -- all were of one mind.

Odd, I thought that he was already dead, for some reason, I thought he died, like last year, or the year before. :/

The Possum isn't just playing dead anymore.

Guitarist Braxton Schuffert, another of Hank Williams' Drifting Cowboys, dead at the age of 97. He once released a solo album under the cunning nom de plume of Braxton Schooford, which hopefully convinced his redneck listeners that he was in no way German.

Slim Whitman, surprisingly never mentioned on this thread before (in fairness, I thought he'd been dead for 20 years), is now tumbling with the tumbleweeds aged 90.

 

Slim to none.
