RIP Rab Noakes, Scottish singer/ songwriter and Folk musician, aged 75. A founding member of Steelers Wheel with Gerry Rafferty and Billy Connolly and prolific song-writer for artists like Lindisfarne, Fairport convention and Barbara Dickson. I saw him many times, from our local tiny folk club to the main stage at Glastonbury and Cropredy, he also supported numerous Prog acts over the years (i saw him support BJH, Camel, John Martyn etc) and recently he appeared in the 'Celtic connections sessions'. Its a shame he wasn't more widely recognised for quality of his song-writing and the influence he had (inside and outside of his native Scotland) on many musicians

Terrible, and he understandably wanted to be in the U.S.   Sadly even with New York's weapon laws it wouldn't have made a difference.

December 8, 1980. John Lennon murdered. Another senseless gun death. I remember going to the vigil in Detroit in Kennedy Square. I first met John in February of 1964 on the Ed Sullivan Show, and no death of a performer has ever effected me like Lennon's. RIP.

Not sure if you are deliberately trying to seem smart but to most she was known as Christine McVie from Fleetwood Mac. I just ordered a box set (well, reduced price of cds put together in one package) of early FM stuff.



That was her maiden name. 
As well as the name she used on the first two Chicken Shack albums. CS were a British blues rock band.

I think I remember Bob. 

I was a big fan of Cheers so that was sad to hear about Kirstie.

Gaylord was a great pitcher, but it seemed like he was always in the shadow of Juan Marichal.
