A legend. Self funded his entry into F1 by taking out loans because his banking elite family blackballed him with local sponsors. Went from last rights to 6 weeks later winning an F1 race still swaddled in bandages making a mockery of anyone that would call Tiger Wood's win this year "the biggest sports comeback ever". Also had his own airline which just makes him a cooler individual than he already was.

I knew Tony DeLap was struggling. We own some of his sculpture and his gallery in Santa Fe advise us he would no longer be visiting.

Such a unique sound, what a bummer. My kids are young and a few years ago we had a family night and watched the Disney movie, The Princess and the Frog. I’m not too into the whole genre but man, when I realized Dr. John was writing and singing songs in it, it brought it to another level. RIP.
Our cat, Tommy, today. He made it 17 years. That's a small hole in the heart that's hard to repair.

Sorry for your loss. Its always hard to lose a four legged family member. Sounds like he had a good long life
A fishing trip last weekend with no news or internet meant I missed the passing of Roky Erickson, leader of The Thirteenth Floor Elevators on May 31 at 71.
RIP to him and Dr. John.
Where did you go fishing?
Rouge-Matawin. Fishing wasn't bad but the weather wasn't great. Cold and mostly wet. On the bright side there were no bugs. There are more in my backyard.
Nice. Pickerel?
