Dusty Chalk Posted January 2, 2020 Report Posted January 2, 2020 It was a year ago, but I only just learned of it: James Calvin Wilsey, the king of slow, and sometime Chris Isaak’s guitarist. I want to be him when I grow up. 2
dsavitsk Posted January 2, 2020 Report Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) Don Larsen. He was married to my wife's first cousin, once removed (meaning my wife's mother's first cousin). I only met him once, at a funeral, where he was a none too thrilled to be a local celebrity - triggered by someone somewhat inappropriately asking him to sign a baseball (which he did anyway.)

Dusty Chalk Posted January 11, 2020 Report Posted January 11, 2020 RIP Neil Peart. I was never inspired to play the drums by Neil Peart -- I mean, seriously, what's the point? He had already demonstrated that he's on another plane. But I was inspired to pursue things _thoughtfully_ -- he put so much thought into everything he did, that he was zen master/another plane/next level. Meticulous craftsman. I want to be that, I still do, and I am reminded of that by his passing. I will strive to better myself. New not-quite-new-year's resolution, in all pursuits. 2 2
Pars Posted January 11, 2020 Report Posted January 11, 2020 RIP Neil Peart... never saw him live, but seemed like a really great guy in the films/documentaries I've seen.
HemiSam Posted January 12, 2020 Report Posted January 12, 2020 Godspeed, Neil... My first few albums were Rush albums. 2112, Farewell to Kings. I don't think I really appreciated what they were until later (I was 11 or so then in the late '70's). I was fortunate to see him a couple of times when I was younger and concerts were somehow more accessible partly because my priorities were different. Life simpler. Good times... HS
