March 2, 20179 yr Another great is gone. RIP Horace https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/03/01/arts/music/horace-parlan-jazz-pianist-dies-at-86.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fobituaries&action=click&contentCollection=obituaries®ion=rank&module=package&version=highlights&contentPlacement=2&pgtype=sectionfront&_r=0&referer=https://www.nytimes.com/section/obituaries
March 2, 20179 yr I actually had no idea that he had had polio, and had a partially disabled right hand. I feel stupid for not having known that, but it certainly says something about his abilities. He'll be missed.
March 3, 20179 yr RIP, Mssr. Paxton. I vividly recall seeing him onscreen the first time in Weird Science....yep. Can't forget the role, the movie or the music by Danny Elfman in Oingo Boingo. RIP, Mr. Parlan. Great hands... HS
March 10, 20179 yr John Surtees, the only man to win both the Formula One and Motorcycle world championships. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/39235608
March 11, 20179 yr Given the Formula One race carnage back in the day with absolutely no driver safety, the fact that John Surtees lived to a ripe old age is astonishing. And bikes too! RIP John Surtees.
March 11, 20179 yr I missed this one, as he died on the 8th. R.I.P. Lou Duva! Legendary boxing trainer/promoter. I had no idea he was still alive. 94 years of age.
March 11, 20179 yr RIP, Mr. Duva. I didn't know he was alive either. That's one heck of a run for a man, especially in that line of business. HS
March 12, 20179 yr Not sure how I missed this one either, but R.I.P. Fred Weintraub. His accomplishments too many to mention, but Woodstock and Bruce Lee movies are just a few.
March 12, 20179 yr Wow, didn't see that either....RIP! I had read a good bit about his club The Bitter End, help launch quite a few careers.....
March 13, 20179 yr Joni Sledge, 60 http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/nation-now/2017/03/12/joni-sledge-we-family-group-sister-sledge-found-dead-ariz-home/99087104/
March 14, 20179 yr RIP Joni.....too young..... And RIP to an unknown to most, but a big part of my college and post-college years: John Lever, drummer for the band Chameleons UK and a bunch of others. One of the hardest hitters I've known. Got to meet him a couple years ago, great gent who just loved music.
March 18, 20179 yr RIP Chuck, http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/03/18/520679732/chuck-berry-legend-of-rock-and-roll-dies-at-90
