RIP Richard Davis
He was well known and respected around here, and his bass work was astounding, and just captivated me from my 'teen' years.
IRCC, he followed Bill Dixon here, but stayed on.
(I met Mr. Dixon - on the elevator - he lived in the same building when I was a freshman, tho he was in the penthouse floor. First time I'd ever been star struck! I saw him once there with Cecil Taylor, too.)

My deepest sympathy @JohnPM
Prayers for the Mulcahy family!
John may be less active on the forum for a while. John's wife, Beth, died suddenly this past Sunday. Naturally, he and his family are devastated, but he did say that they were comforted by their children and grandchildren visiting over the last two weekends, which Beth enjoyed so much. Our...

Mr. McCallum was excellent in NCIS. But to me he was always Illya Kuryakin in the Man from UNCLE.

Wikipedia: "Jon Fausty (February 20, 1949 – September 29, 2023) was an American multiple Grammy Award-winning sound and recording engineer best known for his work on some of the most successful Latin albums ever recorded.
Fausty's career spanned over six decades. He designed studios, produced and engineered recordings throughout the United States, Canada, Cuba and Europe - both in studio and live performances.
'…Jon Fausty generally stayed away from special effects and emphasized capturing performances simply, cleanly, and fast, with the high-quality equipment that was by then a given, even in the more modest New York studios. The net result is that many salsa records from the 1970s through the early 1980s have a timeless, classic sound, which has dated little.'
Fausty had thousands of recordings of which 18 have been awarded Grammy Awards. He won Grammys with Chucho Valdez, Celia Cruz, Ruben Blades, Marc Anthony."
Two Fausty productions have been recommended recently in the Jazz Music thread: percussionist Ray Barretto's 1973 The Other Road; a Grammy-winner for Best Latin Jazz Album, pianist Eddie Palmieri’s 2005 Listen Here! What a career -- the posted albums are 32 years apart!

i took the opportunity to watch Michael Gambon's seminal work...
to me this is a bit of an acquired taste
i had watched this decades ago... i think Singing Detective never made it that big here but the 'successor' "Lipstick on your collar" did.. perhaps on the back of the main actress and a little known actor called... Ewan McGregor
both of these were the brainchild of controversial director, playwright Dennis Potter
now this is a musical of sorts, they will break out in song on a whim but other than that I think this is a real inspired format
these only run six eps at an hour each and they breeze by
there's enough to tell a story, let actors do their thing and its wrapped up before it can get too stale, i like that
there's also a sense of the absurd here... Potter doesnt try to make dream sequences and real life distinct but he somehow doesnt make the narrative muddy as a result

Now that's definitely no age to go. Unfortunately breast cancer is among the most common forms of cancer or even making the top of the list world-wide. October also happens to be Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Wow, she was only 23 when she announced that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, and she died 18 months later at 25.Now that's definitely no age to go.
