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.

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.

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
