A glass of fine whisky for a dearly departed Gord.
Was the song the minstrel sang
To the good of Robin Hood

Offline Bob Dylan once said: “I can’t think of any Gordon Lightfoot song I don’t like. Every time I hear a song of his, it’s like I wish it would last forever … Lightfoot became a mentor for a long time. I think he probably still is to this day.”

Was saddened to hear of the death of Smith’s bassist Andy Rourke today from pancreatic cancer at the age of 59.
The Smiths were the most influential British band of the first half of the 80s, and — arguably — the most influential British band since The Beatles, affecting a generation and more of the Indie music that followed on both sides of the Atlantic, and Rourke was an important part of the band.
RIP Andrew Michael Rourke (17 January 1964 — 19 May 2023)

Ironically that was the day I found out they’d commonly tuned up a whole tone (I’d been struggling for a decade with This Charming Man and I’d had it in my head that morning before I heard the news and so, whacking a capo on my favourite Precisony bass (currently the SB-2 because I’ve strung some DR fatbeams on it), I played me a lot of Smiths songs in honour of Andy. Too soon, one of the few who left bass in a better place than where they found it.

Offline Saddened at the breaking news of the death of Tina Turner at the age of 83.
Born Anna Mae Bullock, she was one of the greatest voices and performers of her generation, though she didn’t really hot her heights until the mid-80s, and after she’d got away from the abusive Ike, we have lost another of the giants.
Simply the best.
RIP Tina Turner (26 November 1939 – 24 May 2023)
