douglasSPTony Sheridan, the musician who recorded with The Beatles in 1961, and later released the single "My Bonnie" - the first recording with any Beatles connection to draw attention.
Sadly, I'd never heard of his passing when, on a whim, I decided to find out what had happened to him after a browsing session on the excellent Beatles Bible website.
I then found out that he died just a week ago, on February 16.

Don Knotts. I spent the evening with his daughter Karen and her great one-woman show
Tied Up in Knotts.

Darren McGavin. I attended his funeral. Ralphie and Flick were there, as were Jack Grinnage and Carol Ann Susi. I spoke with the obviously saddened Mr Grinnage afterward. A lovely man.

Oh, my! I was just watching him this weekend on
Grace & Favour, one of my favourites. I even commented to myself that he and Mr Rumbold were the only two of the originals left. Mr Rumbold, you have the watch.
