Now, that is a shame.

 

[eman1200]

a legend.

 

[Timbeck2]

Sigh...that's two. Robert Guillaume aka "Benson" died yesterday. Waiting on the third shoe to drop.

 

[Mistake Not...]

Chuck Berry died in March. Third shoe?

 

[Timbeck2]

Always in threes....third shoe.

 

[Mistake Not...]

Suppose it depends on your time scale. In geologic time, Berry, Guillaume and Domino died at the same instant.

 

[Timbeck2]

Well if we used any other time scale, we'd never have the saying "it happens in threes."

 

[Mistake Not...]

Yeah, extreme example. But what is the window? days? weeks? Months? Same year? You know in the "People we've lost" retrospectives, they'll all show up in the same slide set.

 

[Timbeck2]

It's usually within a week but hey,

 

[mscard88]

Now, that is a shame.

Hehe see what you did there....almost like a blue Monday but it's Wednesday.

Ah man. I'm sheddin a tear. His rhythms shaped a generation of music. One of the original "framers" of rock n roll. My foots a tappin in tribute. Rest easy fat man. Your legacy will live forever.

Nicely done.
R&R pioneer for sure.

I wouldn’t put Guillaume in the same category as Fats.

Now Tom Petty, Walter Becker, Glenn Campbell and Gregg Allman to mention a few 2017 deaths are.

Walter Beck? Nevah heard of him. He a rocker too?

My "category" was simply famous dead guys. Tom Petty, Monty Hall and Hugh Hefner weren't in the same category either but that was the last three. And for what it's worth, Guillaume was a hoot. His dry delivery of the one liner was classic.

 

[SkyDog58]

Walter Beck? Nevah heard of him. He a rocker too?

Oops. Becker. Corrected.

 

[mscard88]

Hey they're all getting to the dying ages. Wonder some of them stayed alive after all the drugs they've done. Superstition has nothing to do with it.

Wow, didn't see that anywhere.,

Re Fats, i didn't know he was still alive~!

 

[Shepherd]

Grew up listening to Fats.
The only song I ever learned to play on the piano was "Blueberry Hill".
sigh....
RIP.

So did Moses, Napoleon, and Jonas Salk.

 

[Mistake Not...]

So did Everyone.

 

[SkyDog58]

I guess he liked airplanes.
