Voltron Posted March 2, 2017 Report Posted March 2, 2017 Another great is gone. RIP Horace https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/03/01/arts/music/horace-parlan-jazz-pianist-dies-at-86.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fobituaries&action=click&contentCollection=obituaries®ion=rank&module=package&version=highlights&contentPlacement=2&pgtype=sectionfront&_r=0&referer=https://www.nytimes.com/section/obituaries
EdipisReks1 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Posted March 2, 2017 I actually had no idea that he had had polio, and had a partially disabled right hand. I feel stupid for not having known that, but it certainly says something about his abilities. He'll be missed.
HemiSam Posted March 3, 2017 Report Posted March 3, 2017 RIP, Mssr. Paxton. I vividly recall seeing him onscreen the first time in Weird Science....yep. Can't forget the role, the movie or the music by Danny Elfman in Oingo Boingo. RIP, Mr. Parlan. Great hands... HS
Hopstretch Posted March 10, 2017 Report Posted March 10, 2017 John Surtees, the only man to win both the Formula One and Motorcycle world championships. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/39235608 1
HemiSam Posted March 10, 2017 Report Posted March 10, 2017 Godspeed, Mr. Surtees. You went very fast and lived long....no small feat. HS 1
ironbut Posted March 10, 2017 Report Posted March 10, 2017 RIP John Surtees! They don't make em like that anymore!
Craig Sawyers Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 Given the Formula One race carnage back in the day with absolutely no driver safety, the fact that John Surtees lived to a ripe old age is astonishing. And bikes too! RIP John Surtees. 1
swt61 Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 I missed this one, as he died on the 8th. R.I.P. Lou Duva! Legendary boxing trainer/promoter. I had no idea he was still alive. 94 years of age.
HemiSam Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 RIP, Mr. Duva. I didn't know he was alive either. That's one heck of a run for a man, especially in that line of business. HS
swt61 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 Not sure how I missed this one either, but R.I.P. Fred Weintraub. His accomplishments too many to mention, but Woodstock and Bruce Lee movies are just a few.
skullguise Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 Wow, didn't see that either....RIP! I had read a good bit about his club The Bitter End, help launch quite a few careers..... 1
Guss2 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Posted March 13, 2017 Joni Sledge, 60 http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/nation-now/2017/03/12/joni-sledge-we-family-group-sister-sledge-found-dead-ariz-home/99087104/
skullguise Posted March 14, 2017 Report Posted March 14, 2017 RIP Joni.....too young..... And RIP to an unknown to most, but a big part of my college and post-college years: John Lever, drummer for the band Chameleons UK and a bunch of others. One of the hardest hitters I've known. Got to meet him a couple years ago, great gent who just loved music. 1
Dusty Chalk Posted March 14, 2017 Report Posted March 14, 2017 RIP John Lever -- I love Chameleons (UK).
Knuckledragger Posted March 18, 2017 Report Posted March 18, 2017 Well, shit. No particular place to go indeed. 2
TMoney Posted March 18, 2017 Report Posted March 18, 2017 90 years is a good run. RIP to one of the great guitar gods of all time. 1
Grahame Posted March 18, 2017 Report Posted March 18, 2017 RIP Chuck, http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/03/18/520679732/chuck-berry-legend-of-rock-and-roll-dies-at-90
