Two Musical Obits

Hi folks -- two musical obituaries in the news today. The first I saw in the Style section of the Washington Post: Bruce Gary, drummer for The Knack and the guy on the skins for "My Sharona," died on Tuesday at the age of 55.

The Post article takes a look at the signature sound he created -- it involves surf stomps and  flams.

This next one a jazz-loving hepcat friend of mine tuned me on to: jazz trumpeter Maynard Ferguson passed away on Wednesday.

In addition to a long big band and jazz career, he also is known for "Gonna Fly Now" (from "Rocky").

Powerline Blog, which more typcially covers conservative commentary on politics and current events, has an item on Ferguson's career, including an embedded video from YouTube:

In other news, Journals Editor Jeff has posted this week's Guest Editor's picks in his Pixel Pusher blog (as well as to the AOL Journals main page and to the Journals Message Boards), so stop by and check it out.

Shoot, you might as well subscribe to Jeff's new entry alert while you're at it.

Thanks -- Joe
