I'm okey Sirs. Thanks for the concern. I knew that shit was going to happen somewhere, and stayed at home yesterday.

 

Again government and the religious group's leaders gave fatwa against celebrating new year. So this happens...

 

RIP all. I heard the silences of ambulances all night. So many young people died.

RIP 2016.

Bit of a one-hit guy - but what a hit! RIP Peter Sarstedt. Too young at 75.

That single song was a real part of my youth.

[swt61]

Must have been more of a British hit, as I don't recall the song. Certainly sounds of the era.

[Craig Sawyers]

Apparently "In the United States, the record reached #61 on the Cash Box Top 100 Singles. The single also peaked at #70 on the Billboard Hot 100 that May". So it was never a blockbuster in the US, but did OK.

Farewell Parker Beam. Bravely fought ALS and raised a bunch of cash for others. Oh and his namesake, Parkers Heritage, had some pretty fucking good whiskey too.

Parker Beam was a true gentleman. I met him at a liquor store and he signed Heritage bottles for me and Naaman, I believe. RIP Parker.

And fuck ALS!

RIP, indeed a great and gentle man.  ALS is a horrible disease, my son's schoolmate watched his dad suffer and die from it while he (the classmate) was less than 15 years old.....

Please join me in saying goodbye to the oldest (28) aardvark in the united states, AJ.

Good night, sweet prince.

May he make a good sandwich.

Sorry for your loss, Chris.  

Does this make you the eldest?

RIP Mr. Cernan.  

We were fortunate to have him speak at one of my son's school events some years back.

RIP Mr Cernan, the last moon man.

One RIP I missed was Leo Beranek, who died in August '16. I missed it because it looked like the guy would live for ever - he made 102 and worked right to the wire. It is sobering to think that he was born the year the first world war broke out.

He wrote the definitive book on acoustics in 1954, called Acoustics which every practitioner of the subject has (I have). Harvard, MIT, chairman of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, adviser to General Radio. He was also a concert grade pianist.

He also wrote a major text in 1962 called Music, Acoustics, and Architecture, which analyzes the acoustics of 55 of the prime concert halls around the world. He revised and updated it in 2004 at the age of 90 to include 100 halls. I have a personally signed copy of that.

RIP Leo Beranek

RIP Max Wilcox, one of the greatest American producers of classical music. 

One of those guys with an astonishing resume starting with Rubinstein.
