Dickey Betts, guitarist with The Allman Brothers, aged 80

Ah, the passage of time!

One of my favourite albums ever is The Allman Brothers Live At Fillmore East, particularly 'In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed', a fantastic rendition. My copy has about ten signatures of college pals from 50 years ago. A treasured memory.

Conductor Andrew Davis. Many, many great performances and speeches at the Proms.

 

Saw him last year at Roy Thomson Hall with the Toronto Symphony.  Will be sadly missed.

King Cross Park ARLFC player Henry Grierson.

A 23/4 statement on the Halifax club's Facebook page reads: It is with deepest sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Henry Grierson, who was a member of our current U18s team. As a former Siddal ARLFC junior, we were thrilled when he came to join our U18s, where he became an instant favourite with players and parents due to his outgoing and funny nature. He was always around the lads and became part of the furniture at the club.

It is hard to take in that this photo [on the club's Facebook page] was only taken just over two weeks ago as part of our media day to now acknowledge that he is no longer with us. Losing somebody at such a young age is hard to take in so as a club we are simply thankful of the time we had with him and would like to extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends and anybody who had the pleasure of knowing him. Rest in peace, young man. You made an impression on the world which will never be forgotten.

Very sad and so young.
