RIP to the queen of rock ‘n roll. The only thing more impressive than her talent was her resilience.
We were in Zurich in March and saw her house from the lake.

I read on social media a reference to the story below, so a little research revealed it to be true. A touching tribute, to say the least.


DETROIT, May 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Mariners' Church of Detroit is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Gordon Lightfoot on May 1st.

We are forever grateful to him for honoring the 29 men who lost their lives on November 10, 1975 in his immortal song, "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." That song referenced Mariners' Church and its past Rector, Bishop Richard Ingalls, ringing the bells 29 times to honor the crew of the Fitzgerald.

In honor of Gordon Lightfoot, Mariners' Church will ring its bells 30 times at 3:00 p.m. today.

Lightfoot's song included the line, "The church bell chimed 'til it rang twenty number times…" recalling the early morning of Nov 11, 1975 as word of the Fitzgerald tragedy began to spread. Bishop Ingalls woke early that morning to ring the church's Brotherhood Bell to honor the Fitzgerald crew. Ingalls said he paused between each of the 29 pulls, allowing the sound to echo over the quiet city on that cold November dawn. Soon, community members and more than a dozen reporters had made their way to the church to learn about the shipwreck firsthand.

It is hard for me to find any compassion for Ted, but he’s now paid his debt for his crimes. My condolences to his family, friends and loved ones.

This one snuck by; last Sunday George Winston died at the age of 73 after battling cancer for many years. Self-styled as a “folk pianist,” he had a strong influence in new age; his music touches a lot of different genres.

RIP, Mr. Winston, and thanks for sharing your talents. Condolences to your family, friends, fans and loved ones.

Treat Williams was killed in a motorcycle/car accident yesterday. He was a good actor and all around good guy.

Oh, how sad. Condolences to his family, friends, fans and loved ones.
(Speaking of accidental deaths, a guy I know died last week from injuries after the plane he was flying lost power and crash-landed; a friend with him also died. Double tragedy for two families with young children.)
