My condolences to the Banali family.
But fourth place!
Number of players have been going down. In 2012 172 played, and in 2013 174 played. In 2019 96 played, and this year, as I said 99 played.
Woohoo! I’m tied with Bo in 17th place!
I have the 2003 list and it looks like 73 or so of us played 17 years ago.
Yes, in the earllier years fewer played, but it went up as it became more noticed and popular. Now I think some of the oldtimers are gone.
We need to pump it up!
Maybe if some of the picks I had back then had ever died, I would be playing it this year. 
Checking in for the first time in awhile. I’d thought I had Kamala but didn’t, but had completely forgotten I had Banali, so it all evens out. 
I knew I had Banali, but had forgotten that I also had John Lewis, so I’m doing better than average all of a sudden!
You need to come back.
You will be assimilated.
Resistance is futile.

I forgot to get a list submitted this year. Which is stupid, because I could have easily recycled last year’s list - I think my only points last year were for Dick Dale. But I’ve got one ready to go for 2021 already - hopefully nobody on my new list dies before January!

Several sites are reporting it was from a brain injury.

Susan Ellison, widow of Harlan and writer of the column “Through the Lens”, died on August 4th. She was 60 years old.
Anyone that could be married to Harlan deserves all the grace and love in the world.
