If you listen to a hundred music diaries this year...

maybe this could be one of them?

Start out with this famous classical musician...

And that guy with the glasses who looks a bit like his Dad...

Or the young woman (well, back then) who looked good in stripes...

And here's an hour of one of my favorites:

And this guy, who made the most of what he had, when he had it:

And of course rest in peace Tom Petty:

Concluding thought by Charles Bukowski: “We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.”

Rahsaan Roland Kirk!

Hard to argue with any of those videos, but let me just say Rahsaan Roland Kirk is one of my all time heroes. A true original in every sense of the word, he was one of those guys who walked like he talked and it's hard to argue that he didn't suffer because of it. Even at his most militant, there was such a feeling of joy and exuberance in his music. He's someone who can always make me smile. An absolute genius.

Glad you enjoyed it!

@Dr. John Carpenter To tell the truth, this is another obituary diary, though I'm a bit deathed out. Let's see, last year it was:

David Bowie
Glenn Frey
Paul Kantner
Maurice White
Keith Emerson
Prince
Leonard Cohen
Greg Lake

This year it's Al Jarreau, Chuck Berry, Chris Cornell, Gregg Allman, Glen Campbell, Walter Becker, and Tom Petty. Well OK then!
