May 10, 20197 yr comment_805389 RIP Fred Hemke, classical saxophonist and former professor at Northwestern. I found out this past weekend he died on 4/17/19 at the age of 83.https://www.music.northwestern.edu/news/2019/frederick-hemke-1935-2019 This guy studied with Marcel Mule, who basically started the French school of classical saxophone. My teacher's teacher studied with Mule, and this guy was someone she looked up to for years (until he was a dick to her over the Dahl Concerto). Still, an incredibly important person in the community, and one that saddened me when I found out while I was, fittingly, in the middle of 1200+ musicians at a band festival in Canada with my daughter.

I even referenced Wild Kingdom once when I caught an arc of guys staring at CGAW's ass (or so it seemed). "Here, we see the female administratorus databasus in her natural element. She lures the males into believing her submissiveness with her diminutive form, but we all know who wields the power here. One of the males approaches, attempting to curry favour with a showing of his mastery of language...let's watch." RIP the real deal. Report

May 14, 20197 yr comment_805604 RIP Doris and Peggy as well. Doris lived a good long life, though it seems like things in her personal life and experience(s) with men weren't so hot. And Mod Squad... hehe, right on that that was the hippest show on TV back then. Solid! Report

May 14, 20197 yr comment_805617 Doris Day - RIP. Always a joy to watch her classic movies. A long life, decidedly disastrous in her choice of men, and rather reclusive in later years. And RIP Brian Waldon, UK political journalist, MP and rottweiler interviewer. His political interviews and comment was a much watch on a Saturday morning in the 80's is he put politicians on the rack. Report
