Futtocks Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Ken Nordine, aged an entirely repectable 98. His 'Word Jazz' recordings were compelling, weird and often funny, delivered in a voice like vintage port poured over velvet: https://www.wbez.org/shows/wbez-news/word-jazz-creator-and-host-ken-nordine-dies/71c82188-3b11-432b-93da-91d83affdaad Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

CanaBull Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Dick Churchill, last surviving member of those who escaped during the Great Escape, passed away on the 13th February aged 99. Always maintained that he thought he was not one of the 50 executed because the Germans assumed he was related to Winston. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Talk Talk were one of the few "progressive" and innovative bands of the 80s. Spirit of Eden was considered their best CD. My favourite was Live at Montreax in 1986 which contained more spacious and developed versions of their earlier songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moomintroll Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Hollis managed to almost disappear off the face of the earth after his solo album. No mean feat. He's left some great music behind though. Spirit of Eden is amazing. RIP 1 Minä rakastan rugbyliigaa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Mr Preview ... Privet He must have enjoyed it, as he came back for a quick follow-up sketch later in the show's run. One of the things I really like about that sketch is watching the reaction of the orchestra. They'd have been hard-nosed, hard-drinking professionals - rarely impressed by anything or anyone. In the sketch, they are absolutely loving it. 1 Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

timtum Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 In the search for approbation from our fathers that many of us do, the closest I got was sourcing a copy of Previn's Berlioz Requiem, long before it was readily available. My dad had previously written to him asking for a recording and received a hand written reply. My dad was not one to be star struck, but Previn for him was a mighty conductor.
