Another legend passes. Who fills those kind of shoes? Musicianship that we will likely not see again (that kind of production and talent)

One hundred and two, wow. Sister Jean, the nun at Loyola University and their most famous college basketball fan, is now one hundred and three, and is going to throw out the first pitch at a Chicago Cubs game in the near future, to supplement big celebrations at the University itself. I hope she can underhand it to a smiling Cubs player, old folks' joints being a little undependable, I'd say from personal experience.

Another musical giant who most people have never heard of. RIP.

Artists like the Wrecking Crew and the Swampers shaped a lot of the musical landscape in anonymity.
