Sad news from The Black Page:
R.I.P. Jim Gordon, born James Beck Gordon (July 14, 1945 – March 13, 2023)
In 1972, Gordon was part of Frank Zappa's 20-piece 'Grand Wazoo' big band and the subsequent 10-piece 'Petit Wazoo' band.
He can be heard on albums like Imaginary Diseases, Wazoo, Little Dots, Waka/Wazoo, Apostrophe ('), and Läther.
His best-known recording with Zappa is the title track of the 1974 album Apostrophe ('), a jam with Zappa and Tony Duran on guitar and Jack Bruce on
bass, for which both Bruce and Gordon received a writing credit.
Zappa, when introducing Gordon onstage, frequently referred to him as "Skippy", because of his youthful appearance.

I posted a note about the allegedly passing of Ralph Humphrey but deleted it soonly after learning, it has been fake news. Sorry for the confusion. At
least an interesting lesson about the spread of (mis-)information in our rapidly changing times

One of the advantages of being slow to keep up.

I did the same in the Zappa General section , and couldnt work out how to delete it so changed it to error .
A lesson on how dumb all over this idiot can be

Harry Belafonte, radical activist and entertainer with a 'rebel heart,' dies at 96
Harry and I share the same birthday on March 1st.
My parents and I saw him perform at the Carter Barron Amphitheatre in Washington, D.C., when I was 11 in 1961. We sat 4 or 5 rows from centerstage.
A couple of rows directly behind us sat then-attorney general Robert Kennedy. During intermission, my parents suggested I get his autograph.
He signed the front of my program, which I still treasure to this day.

An Oz legend has also recently past on Broderick Smith.
Not well know I guess outside OZ but did spend time with his earlier band "the Dingoes" in the US in the mid 70's
His son Ambrose Kenny-Smith a member of rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard

Coincidentally, I've just come across a recent album by King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, The Land Before Timeland. Interesting stuff.

Vida Blue
This one hurts a lot. I was a huge Oakland A's fan growing up through their dynasty. I'm happy that I was able to attend a celebration and 50th
anniversary reunion of the 73 championship team and I got to stand and applaud Vida. He did not look well.
