R.I.P.

Steve Ricard - Wrestling legend, ex Hutt Park Hotellier.

RIP Steve

On the Mat, those were the days

James Best

He was Rosco P. Coltrane in the Dukes of Hazzard which was the shark when I was growing up

Livesport Radio - station closing after 7 years on air.  Sad really, was nice to have an alternative to radio sport in the mornings.

Bye Telfs, don't let the door hit you on your way through.

Just seeing reports that Richie Benaud has passed away. A great commentator, amplified by the fact that Aussie cricket commentary has gone to the dogs since he left. RIP Richie 2 for 22

Hail, all hail, hail the great man

RIP Richie. Absolute Legend.

RIP. The voice of the game.

His reply to a 16 year old's letter says it all about the man. A man of the people, an absolute legend. RIP Richie.

The 12th Man will be upset too. Although Ritchie was not a fan of the bad language, Billy Birmingham had his voice down pat. Struth, it's  that bloody Max Walker.

As good a commentator as he was, he was also a very good cricketer. 

RIP

Absolutely. Was a proper attacking batsman and a pressure bowler relying more on variations and bounce than spin (kind of like Vettori in that regard). 

He also never lost a series as captain - including three Ashes series.

Telfs will be doing the 12-6pm Radio Live weekend sport show on Saturdays

And RIP Richie.  Was the voice and will be missed. 

Welcome back to the MCG for the second time today.

RIP Percy.

The 96.

Great to see so many traditional rivals stand up and be counted with LFC and in doing so, support the fight for justice.

Transcends football.

RIP keith Harris......as much as I hated that green duck a big part of my younger years has disappeared now...rest well

Ben E. King - Singer  - Best known for "Stand by me".

Rebecca Ferdinand      RIP

What a tragedy

34 years old, 3 children.  This sort of thing should not happen to anyone.

RIP Ellen Albertini Dow - the rapping Granny

"I said a hip hop, Hippie to the hippie. The hip, hip a hop, and you don't stop, rock it,"

Erroll Brown of Hot Chocolate. RIP

A gent. We had a brief chat on Tottenham Ct Rd. once. I asked what he was doing musically. "Weddings, mate. Got to pay the taxman." But his grin was huge.

met Erroll some years ago..a nice fella RIP

Geoff Duke of Motorcycle Race fame and Huge Motorsport video game. Few days ago. 

And now 

B.B.King :(

He really was the greatest.

I am sure that I am not the only OC who saw B. B. King play with U2 at Athletic Park in around 1990

It was 1989, I remember that as I had to convince my parents that it wouldn't interfere with my study for my upcoming School C exams!

The only reason I went to that concert was to see BB King , also saw him the year before on his own at the Michael Fowler Center, he was brilliant both times

Completely Well - Guess Who period of recordings is  magical

Jemmott/ Lovelle Rhythm Section is literally on fire

The live stuff from then is greasy sweaty funky blues. Love it!

Riley B King 

Sweet Soul Music - Peace

I gave you 7 children... And now you want to give them back.

A lot of humour in BB's work.

What got me about the man was how easy he made playing the guitar look. He hard looked like he was making any effort but the sound that came out was a complex mix sometimes. Brilliant  guitarist. Clapton might have to do a remake for the funeral and do "While my Lucille gently weeps".

Plenty of tabs around showing how to play his thang but there is no way in hell you can get close to the touch or feel of the master.

End of

"Live at the Regal" is a good place to start for anyone interested

All tabs are pants. Avoid at all cost

Live at Cook County Jail is good to. I dig the horns.

Agree with the horn section bit for sure babe

Guitar World has the notation above the tab eh? :)

Aye & Guitar Player before that

Cheers for that.
