Heartbroken and floored to lose Jonathan Crombie of Anne of Green Gables on April 15, then Sawyer Sweeten of Everybody Loves Raymond on Thursday and Suzanne Crough of The Partridge Family on Monday! In shock and disbelief! All gone way too soon! Getting afraid to look at the news!

Darn.. I love "Spanish Harlem". Great R&B singer.

"The Thrill is Gone" Riley B. King (Blues Boy/B.B.) King

Had the privilege to attend his concerts on several occasions throughout the years, most recently in an old opera theater in Ithaca, NY, where he performed magnificently for two hours. He, like Mr. RB, was an example of the spirit and life-expression we could use more of today. Indeed!

Mr. King and Lucille. . . Timeless, classic American Blues.

As of now I am down four classmates from a graduating class of 48. The last one passed on my dad's birthday, which is also the birthday of one of Ray's daughters, only eight days before the 35th anniversary of our graduation. I attended only the first of the funerals, in fact, I am not even sure if the second person had one, and I couldn't attend this one as I was out of town.

Dusty Rhodes and Ornette Coleman, too

RIP, actor Patrick Macnee, aged 93.

Also known for this little piece, written by Ray Bradbury: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP9LQ4Vbw4A

Mr. Macnee ~ I enjoyed the works of this fine actor for many years. His performance in the role of Stendahl in Usher II was perfect.
