Davy Jones from the Monkees has passed away.

I'm a believer.

[Bill Profile E-mail BillWebsite]

Heard that. Heart attack.

And actually, Mickey Dolenz sang "I'm a Believer", not Davey Jones.
Davey just played the tambourine and sang back-up on that song.

Only Monkees song I could remember the name of at that time.

But, have sinced watched a few of the video's.

Daydream believer was Davy's Big hit.

Earl Scruggs blue grass banjo player passed away.

He wrote the Jed Clampett's theme from Beverly Hillbillies.

He also inspired many a musician with his fast picking style.

Upon arriving in heaven God asked Earl,
"What do you call it when a banjo is thrown right into the center of a trash bin?"
Earl smiled and replied, "Perfect Pitch."

Earl, to you.

Jim Marshall's Story

Marshall "Plexi", the sound of classic rock-n-roll
(Listen to it with good headphones.)

First Les Paul, now Jim Marshall. Rock-n-roll has lost some of it's royalty.

[Jeff Profile]

Amazing.

Dick Clark died this morning of a heart attack at 82. Sad, end of a some sort of era there. I think he has probably been a celebrity figure all my life. I actually thought he was older.

R.I.P. to the oldest teenager.
