I'd been expecting this for a long time - especially after he said he wasn't touring anymore. Only saw him perform once - and it was a double bill with Tangerine Dream. Just yesterday morning I was watching a segment from a live show he did where he set the sequencers going and left the stage (probably to go pee) and come back to extoll the beauty of sequencers to his audience who were entranced during those few minutes he was off-stage. Haven't always gone along with his sometimes unnecessarily abrasive attitudes about music or his 80's output that really sounds dated these days (at least, to me), but for over 50 years, he's always been a strong presence in my musical listening - from bedroom listening during my (pre)teen years to the time a couple of decades ago when I bought a 400-disc player for the house and filled it with just his music and let it play for months - to my current anticipation of his new work that extends his fascination with Dune.
What I love so much about Wynonna is her ability to crack a really good joke even if it isn't her true intention. I love her honesty and how she doesn't candy coat anything.
God bless you and her and Ashley always!!!

P.S. I want to put my arms around Ashley when she is given her mother's medal. _________________ Me & my favorite singer James Otto
Another musician we've lost to kidney disease in the past couple of weeks.
Absolutely amazing performer and one of my very favorite musicians who
I've been lucky to see a number of times - at least twice with Hariprasad Chaurasia
with one of those times accompanied by Alla Rakha and another by Zakir Hussain.
Incredible highlights of my life. Didn't realize he was 84. Great life in music.
Cathal Coughlan passed yesterday at the age of 61 after an illness for some time, won’t be known to many around here but the guy was one of the most accomplished musicians to come out of my home town and contributed some amazing post-punk-esque albums in the 80s and 90s, namely with bands like the Fatima Mansions and Microdisney, can’t recommend them enough.
Anywho, Cork lost a great musician this week, RIP Cathal. _________________
