I got to see Greg Allman in 2015 at the Maine State Pier. He looked pretty frail, but it was a great show. His Hammond was wailing!
Doonesbury, 1975: Duke becomes Rolling Stone’s Gregg and Cher bureau chief.
ISTR Trudeau commenting on the demise of Berry Oakley, something to the effect that the Allman Brothers Band was disbanding by means of attrition.
He mentions this during his cameo on Family Guy.
Former Blue Peter presenter John Noakes has died aged 83.

Author Brian Doyle has died.
Whoa, that puts carnivorousplant in second place on this board!
Ahem … Sir Mr Death Shroom … check out post 1225. I got some points too.
Sports writer Frank Deford dead at 78. I liked a lot of his writing and he did some great work on HBO’s Real Sport.
I heard him on NPR a few times.
No wonder I was noticing recently that something was missing on NPR on Wednesday mornings. Besides his writing, the way he read his articles on the air made them really special.
Aww that sucks. I always enjoyed DeFord’s commentaries on NPR. I didn’t always agree with him, but he was fun to listen to.
For decades Deford was a tireless advocate for Cystic Fibrosis research and treatment after his daughter died from the disease.
An Hawaiian celebrity death.
Martin Pahinui dead at 65 after a long battle with cancer. Gifted vocalist, musician, and recording artist. Son of the late Gabby Pahinui.
Manuel Antonio Noriega Moreno-Politician-Age 89.
He finally got away …
umm, no. My mother turns 85 in about a month, and she is more than a year older than he was.
And here I assumed you meant Brian Doyle, the baseball player.
