R.I.P. Andreas Nikolaus "Niki" Lauda 1949 - 2019
Three-time Formula One world champion (1975, 1977 & 1984) and still ranks 9th in the table of most F1 wins (25) Niki Lauda has died at the age of 70.
The former racing driver "passed away peacefully", his family said on Monday in a statement reported by the Austria Press Agency.

Lucky to have lived that long. His horrible accident would have killed most, and led to safety changes for all drivers. A legend I loved to watch drive. Ferrari brought him out of retirement and he won for them. I saw “We miss you Niki” taped on the steering wheel of a Ferrari car in today’s q’s at Monaco.
RIP Niki.

Re: R.I.P. Thread

R.I.P. Ipod.

Seems Apple is dropping the once iconic device.  Still have my Classic but play it very little.

I have well over 20,000 songs in my computer's library, but signed up for Apple streaming music a few months ago and doubt I'll look back.  I can still remember many here who only buy CDs and now the fashionable retro vinyl recordings.  I admire that thinking but I just don't have the time or storage space.

It's nice now to listen to my music through my phone, HomePod or computer and I can listen to just about everything.  Just buy some high quality earbuds, headphones or speakers and you're on your way.

I've thought about creating a thread on this subject, but the verdict is still out.

Roger Kynard Erikson, one of the pioneers of psychedlic type music from the 70s, the 13th Floor Elevators....... but he also went on to make several solo albums and others with the alternate band The Aliens. I never really got used to the jug sound they they had going, most if not all of his solo stuff did not have the jug thing going. He passed on May 31, I just heard about it today   RIP Roky

I remember pi R Squared in math class ............. wait, I know for sure Junior Sample told Grandpa "Pie are round, Cornbread are square"

Thanks RoadcaseBoy for the notice.  Dr John was a gifted musician and singer.  As much as I love Bruce I don't think his version's too convincing compared to the original.  Not southern Nawlins enough I'd say.

Also would like to say RIP to Leon Redbone, who passed as well this week.  He fell into that same unique category of entertainers as Dr John.

Re: R.I.P. Thread

I last saw Dr. John at the King of the Blues finals at the Nokia Center in LA. He played with Joe’s band as a special guest. It was memorable, and Dr. John was a treat.
Dr. John’s music was part of my life. I’d seen him a number of times.

Yonrico Scott (October 6, 1955 – September 20, 2019)  R.I.P.

Just learned last night the sad news that percussionist Yonrico Scott has passed. He was a long-time member of the Grammy winning The Derek Trucks Band, became a bandleader of his own ensemble, the Yonrico Scott Band, and later worked with the Royal Southern Brotherhood, with Cyril Neville and also contributed to Laurence Jones’ breakthrough album Temptation; Susan Tedeschi’s Wait For Me and Gov’t Mule’s Live; With A Little Help From Our Friends.
No cause of death has been attributed.

Re: R.I.P. Thread

Barrie Masters, the lead singer of the band Eddie and the Hot Rods, has died aged 63.
Formed in Canvey Island, Essex in 1975, they were part of the pub rock scene which included Dr Feelgood and Ian Dury’s band Kilburn and the High Roads. The band were best known for their top 10 hit in 1977, Do Anything You Wanna Do. They also had top 40 hits with Teenage Depression and Quit This Town.
Masters was the original singer of the band, and was their only constant member. The band kicked off their career with residencies in London clubs alongside The 101ers before being signed to Island Records in the mid-1970s.
Over the years they became known for their punk style and were often considered as one of the founding groups of the genre with their loud, frenetic live sets.
Band guitarist Richard Holgarth described him as the “perfect frontman” and a “composite of a rock and roller”.
“Someone with a voice that could strip paint. Someone who had a capacity for having a great time that was unmatched and just looked the part completely,” he said.

I did see Ginger play, once, his, brief occupancy of Hawkwind's drum-stool. Not his happiest employ, but ever the professional, he gave it the beans... Just don't call him a "Rock" drummer....

Re: R.I.P. Thread

I saw him play when I was just a kid and when he launched into 'Toad' my buddies and I were looking around to see where the other drummer was.... it just wasn't possible that this one man was making all this music. But of course he was. I am not a drummer, but he is the drummer I have always measured drummer's by throughout my lifetime. It was sad indeed to hear of his passing.

He used to say he never got any royalties from the writing the of songs like 'Sunshine of Your Love' or 'White Room' yet without his incredibly original style, those songs would never have been what they were.
