Now Bob Babbitt too!

Gosh darnitt!!! Not again, just saw BOB Babbitt is near the end from a brain tumor. When is this madness gonna end? Please keep him and his family in your thoughts. Another legend/hero nearing the pearly gates.....Do they all know something we don't? Is there a spaceship waiting, or is earth doomed? I guess it's just their time but it sure does seem like a lot of our hero's and such have left us this year.  Bear

We must learn to share our heroes with those who have already passed, as painful as it is for us mere mortals.  They all need to gather to make divine heavenly music in the next stage, whatever you believe in, while we appreciate living now and being able to enjoy such divinity here.

I think our era (the 60s and the  70s) had much to do with creative freedom and expression, combined with the technological capability to spread these artists' vision throughout the popular culture. I still am in awe of the amazing and diverse palette I was blessed to hear throughout my youth. Bob will be in my prayers.
