May 6, 201610 yr RIP Harry Kroto (who discovered "buckyballs" at here at Rice with Smalley and Curl).
May 8, 201610 yr Whoa....RIP Tomita. Was listening to some of his Pictures At An Exhibition last week....
May 8, 201610 yr Yeah, he's the reason I love Grofé's Canyon Suite, and his early stuff was very influential on how I hear synthesizer tonalities/timbres -- very unorthodox in places, yet he makes it work, musically.
May 9, 201610 yr Fuck. Isao's Snowflakes was my introduction to his music back in the day. Sad times. I am happy that did get to see him once. Edited May 9, 201610 yr by mikeymad

May 14, 201610 yr RIP, JS. The words his friends wrote of his life and impact on them are truly moving. HS
May 16, 201610 yr RIP to an old High School friend of mine, Mike. He was chaperoning a Scout trip with some other parents, and they hit rough waters on the Dead River in Maine. Raft apparently flipped, everyone rescued but him, couldn't be revived with CPR.... Two kids, I think teen/pre-teen....so fucking sad..... It's been many years since I saw him, only e-chats; we had him to our house with another friend & family when he just had one child. But it still hits pretty damn hard.
May 17, 201610 yr Author Very sad news, Todd. RIP Mike. Such a rough loss for his family and friends.
