R.I.P.

As more and more of my musical heroes and other significant figures leave the stage, I’ve tried to look at their work and the impact that it has had on my life and times. Of course, given the range of my musical interests and the fact that there's a finite amount of time available for research and the need to finish off other projects, not all of them are going to appear here, but I’m trying to catch up on some of the (recent, at least) backlog.
