Lost my father on Tuesday. Visitation tonight; funeral tomorrow.
He was a guitarist par excellence---owned a music store, taught guitar, had a dance band called the Echo's Four that played all over the state for 20 years. A philosopher, a deep thinker, a complex man who thought himself simple. A sometimes difficult man, but a great one. And a great father. The hole he leaves in my life is breathtaking.
Rest in peace, Pop.
Been terribly busy but I just stumbled upon this and I'm terribly sorry for the loss of your father, Loeff. I'm sure he was a good man because the proof's in the pudding with you and Another Loeff. You both have my condolences, man.
BTW, could your dad riff any Hendrix?

Thanks, Pal. No, he ignored Hendrix---never trusted left-handed players B-) But he taught a lot of popular music of that time on the guitar. He could play the riff to "Day Tripper" as well as George Harrison, certainly.

Game developer Bethesda Game Studios has lost a major concept artist, Adam Adamowicz to cancer at 44. His work is visible in their memorial page to him, including work on their best-selling Fallout and Elder Scrolls games.

Davy Jones, lead singer of the Monkees, died today of a heart attack at 66. Yes, the Monkees were the "pre-fab" four, but admit it: you like them. RIP, Davy. . .

I was a regular viewer of their tv show around the mid/late 1970's and I did like them. I'm A Believer was (and still is) a favourite. Reading the article below it was interesting to discover he was a keen horseman who was good enough to win a race as a jockey in England.
Two time world darts champion Jocky Wilson has died aged 62. I was a regular viewer from the late seventies through the eighties and Wilson was a great character as well as a great player. Rest In Peace.
I'm surprised no one else has posted this; but last night (Saturday), Mike Wallace, one of the greatest--and most feared--TV journalists of all time, died at 93. What passes for journalism today is truly pathetic compared to what he did. . .

Tonight marks the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic on it's maiden voyage. More than 1,500 passengers and crew were lost on that fateful night. I will be thinking of them and all those who have lost their lives at sea over the course of time.

Influential guitarist Bert Weedon has passed away aged 91. Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney and Brian May are among the stars who learned to play guitar from his books. He was awarded an OBE in 2001 for his services to music. Rest In Peace.
News came out that the original (and, to my mind, only) Barnabas Collins from Dark Shadows, Jonathan Frid, died on Friday the 13th at the age of 87. Since Tim Burton's movie version of DS is about to come out, and since it looks like a parody with Johnny Depp Jack-Sparrowing it up as Barnabas, perhaps he died of shame? Well, rest in peace, Mr. Frid.

Whitney Houston gone, only 48 say the headlines. Strange isn't it, they didn't say only 50 or whatever it was for Michael J.
Why is Chemmy Alcott doing better on twitter trends? Odd.

A sad decline and a great loss. Rest In Peace.
