Dusty Chalk Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 It was a year ago, but I only just learned of it: James Calvin Wilsey, the king of slow, and sometime Chris Isaak’s guitarist. I want to be him when I grow up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavitsk Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) Don Larsen. He was married to my wife's first cousin, once removed (meaning my wife's mother's first cousin). I only met him once, at a funeral, where he was a none too thrilled to be a local celebrity - triggered by someone somewhat inappropriately asking him to sign a baseball (which he did anyway.)

Dusty Chalk Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 RIP Neil Peart. I was never inspired to play the drums by Neil Peart -- I mean, seriously, what's the point? He had already demonstrated that he's on another plane. But I was inspired to pursue things _thoughtfully_ -- he put so much thought into everything he did, that he was zen master/another plane/next level. Meticulous craftsman. I want to be that, I still do, and I am reminded of that by his passing. I will strive to better myself. New not-quite-new-year's resolution, in all pursuits. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemiSam Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Godspeed, Neil... My first few albums were Rush albums. 2112, Farewell to Kings. I don't think I really appreciated what they were until later (I was 11 or so then in the late '70's). I was fortunate to see him a couple of times when I was younger and concerts were somehow more accessible partly because my priorities were different. Life simpler. Good times...
