      Wow. Really is no break from music tragedy this year, is there? I know some of those who've died were up there in years (especially Leonard Cohen) but it's hard to think of a single calendar year where so many talents have gone.

        my generation is just beginning to fade from this earthly confine.....

        the string of epitaphs will continue with increasing frequency, i fear...

        what we are obligated to do is honer their creative art & share their gifts with younger generations.

          Leon was a great piano player, and an accomplished songwriter and singer too. My favourite footage of him is on the J.J. Cale DVD "In Session at the Paradise Studios" recorded in 1979. Below is a photo of him from that DVD, aged 37. He clearly favoured the 'older look' from an early age.

            Your Favorite Female Musicians ?
            by Herbonbay
            I've really enjoyed the threads started by Eric ( AKA Thelonious Funk ) regarding the music that we're all currently listening to. After all, the music is what it's all about . Isn't it? 8O So Thanks Eric, I always find myself jotting down a few notes for consideration of future purchases.

            by David Meek
            I've been a member of HD Tracks since I purchased my Olive Opus music server. At first there were just a couple of albums that interested me, and over the past couple of years there have been the occasional offering that I downloaded. Now, that lack of popular titles seems to be changing with the...

            JJ Cale (5 December 1938 - 26 July 2013)
            by bigburner
            JJ Cale died three weeks ago and I’m embarrassed that I didn’t mark his passing on this forum. Better late than never.

            It’s hard to describe JJ’s genre of music. It’s a combination of soft rock, country and rockabilly I suppose. Some people called it the Tulsa sound.
