True Heroes Live Forever, pt.2

I put my back out last Sunday and I've been hicking about with a walking stick all week, much to the hilarity of the office.
I've also been too grumpy to blog (as per …).

This evening, however, I'm too sad not to. Another great hero of mine that none of you will have heard of died today.

What a shitty week all told.

I'll be back when I'm less grumpy and my heroes stop dropping like flies.

I'm sorry you're having a crappy week, Dive. Sending good vibes. If nothing else, vibes are good for your back.

Thank you, Petrea. Your good vibes are a great help. You prompted me to dig out some old Lionel Hampton stuff which has cheered me up no end.

Hope you're feeling better. Bad backs are the worst, never knowing when they'll flare up or for how long. Ice packs help for me.

I read Fischer-Dieskau's obit in the NYTimes. They were talking about him on the classical station I listen to on the weekends.

It could be worse. You could be Jarvis. He's back and he's got issues with his kitchen appliances.

:^D

I hope this week will be a better week for you, Dive. We were listening to Mr. Coltrane today to cheer our Sunday blues. Good soul medicine.

What a wonderful voice. Thanks for adding the link. He will live on for many generations with that voice. Hope you feel better soon.

What a great lot of memories Robin has left us, he was the one who loved Alistair's voice, so that was special as well.
