I was saddened to hear on the way home tonight that Bob Casale the guitarist for the band Devo has passed away at the age of 61. Devo in the 80s were an amazing band and quite underrated as musicians. best known for the song "whip it" Bob's sound and playing style were unique. after Devo disbanded he had a long career writing and playing music for over 200 movie soundtracks.
known as Bob2 as there were 2 Bobs in the band will be missed and Devo is one of my favorite bands of all time, so RIP Bob 2
Devo Girl you want

Phil Everly of the Everly brothers passed away Friday evening.
Born in Chicago to a musician father, Everly formed the Everly Brothers with Don after the pair had performed as children as part of the Everly Family. Together the pair, known for their harmonies and country-inflected tunes, racked up numerous hits, including "Wake Up Little Suzie," "Cathy's Clown," and "All I Have fo Do Is Dream." The pair was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.
After initially breaking up in the early '70s, the Everly Brothers reunited in 1983 for a concert at London's Royal Albert Hall, later recording the 1986 country-music hit "Born Yesterday." The pair also contributed the song "Cold" to the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Jim Steinman album "Whistle Down the Road."
The pair received the Lifetime Achievement Grammy award in 1997.
Everly is survived by his wife, brother Don, mother Margaret, and sons Jason and Chris, as well as two granddaughters. *** copied and pasted from MSN News
here is a good version of "All i have to do is dream"

 USE the numerical keys on the right of your keyboard, not the numbers across the top.  Thought this little gem might come in handy for achat forum posters

just read with a twinge of sadness that Jeff Hannerman, guitarist for the very heavy metal band Slayer has passed away. although never a super big fan of the band i have seen them preform several times over the years.i have fond memories of taking my young nephews to see the band and Jeff was an inspiration for my nephew to become the great guitarist he is rapidly becoming.
so rest in peace Jeff and heaven just got alot louder!!!!!!
