Ach.
Remember seeing him and Graham Nash in a Fringe thing at the Playhouse back in the 70s. Full of hippies obviously. I fell asleep halfway through.
Did well to get to his 80s!
Was listening to an obituary piece by John Robb this morning, who said that Crosby was posting on Instagram only two days ago.
Today it's Tom Verlaine.

Burt Bacharach.
That is all.....
His list of songs for him and others is remarkable
I was watching a programme last week about Aretha, centred on three of her many great songs, "I Say A Little Prayer" was the middle one.
While Bacharach and David will be indelibly associated with Dionne Warwick and Dusty Springfield, I think there is another measure of their incredible talent.
This was in their capacity to write songs that were able to be reinterpreted to thei performer's style while still retaining that B&D magic to make them automatic classics for their cover artist - I'm thinking Isaac Hayes and the Manic Street Preachers for two.
Raquel Welch has passed away aged 82
Ron.
