He hasn't been here for years - but maybe send him a PM.

Communication might be a big problem as CR rider Soldering last resided in Kharkiv and today there isn't much left of that city.

Yes, I noticed where he lived. Still, might be worth a try. He may have moved but still have the same email.

Renée Geyer, Australian soul/R&B singer, just passed away. She was big in Oz in the 70-80s, not sure if she was known outside the county.

David Crosby just died, from Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Maybe Ted Nugent can finally get in to the Rock and Roll HOF.

A real, old guard loss with Crosby's passing.

Having been to the R&R HoF, I don't see the problem with putting Nugent in. My impression was that you don't have to have anything to do with R&R or actually have made a difference to the genre and there isn't any quality standard for entrance. I wouldn't recommend the place, it's a cluttered cash cow.

The incomparable Gordon Lightfoot passed at 84. One of the great singer songwriters and pure Canadian story teller headed to the "carefree highway".

He was Bob Dylan's favorite songwriter. That is some serious street cred.
