I remember seeing a TV show about the Globetrotters that showed a practice, where he hit one of those amazing long-distance threes from half-court. While sitting down. :eek:
Another COVID-19 casualty.
Alan Merrill had a long and interesting career in music but will probably be known for writing and first performing “I Love Rock and Roll.”
Folks, I always check each name presented here. But if I could ask a favor, if you present a name that you yourself get points for, could you put it in the post? Thanks!
If that happens you shall hear the trumpets.
Country musician Joe Diffie dead at 61 from covid-19.
Will be propped up beside the jukebox later tonight.
David Schramm, a theater actor and star of the sitcom Wings, has died at age 73.
This one bothers me. Loved him on “Wings,” and he’s a local boy.
He might be joined soon by John Prine.

Oh, now that just pisses me off. Get well, John!
Hopefully his flag decal will keep him safe.
A hit for at least one team…
CBS journalist Maria Mercader, 54, coronavirus
Harriet Glickman, who convinced Charles Schultz to add Franklin to his Peanuts comic.
This guy was not really famous, but that’s a nebulous measure anyway. UK Dialect Coach and actor in The Force Awakens Andrew Jack died of COVID-19 at age 76. His partner, Gabrielle Rogers, is an Australian Dialect Coach, seen here with Conan O’Brien when he was touring.
Fountains of Wayne songwriter Adam Schlesinger dies of coronavirus complications at 52. He also wrote “That Thing You Do” for the Tom Hanks movie.
The coronavirus vibe isn’t as much fun as the radiation vibe.

Jazz pioneer Ellis Marsalis, 85. Coronavirus
Not such a ‘lovely day.’ Bill Withers dead at age 81.
