Another dark day in music history. The Godfather of British blues passed away. John Mayhall was 90 years old, and surrounded by his family. He created a lot of great music, and influenced a lot of great musicians. Rest In Peace Mr. Mayhall, and thank you for your contribution to some of the greatest music ever to grace our ears.

Next to Cyril Davies, there were no better White Blues harmonica players around. John was one of the best. About white blues harmonica, after Cyril and John, then the discussion can turn to Jack Bruce, Mick Jagger, Keith Relf, Robert Plant, Peter Green and John Lennon. Bob Dylan and Neil Young should be mentioned too but they aren't blues harmonica players.

Tic-Tac-Toe host Peter Marshall made it to 98. I recall watching Hollywood Squares during my summer breaks in the 70s. Yikes!

The lead singer for Great White passed away too. He was only 63, and passed from something I've never heard of. I wasn't a huge fan, but "Rock Me" wasn't a bad tune. I think most people remember them from the horrible fire that occured because of their pyrotechnics. 100 people died, including their guitar player.

Famous talk show host Phil Donahue past away. He was 88 years old. The cause of death is unknown at this time. Rest in peace.

I remember my family watching his show, but I never really go tinto shows like that, back then.

Another legend in the world of wrestling has passed away. Sid Vicious has died at the age of 63, after a long battle with cancer. I remember watching this guy go off the rails while talking to 20/20 host John Stossel. I don't remember exactly what happened, but John called wrestling fake, Sid got pissed, and I think pile drived him. I know he had a career ending injury during a wrestling pay per view. I haven't gone to youtube to look for it, but I hear it's pretty gruesome.

James Earl Jones has died.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

I just saw he passed, at age 93. It didn't say much about how he went in the Yahoo article, but he had a long and prosperous life.
May he Rest In Peace, he brought a lot of people joy. I loved him in "Coming To America".

As a gamer, I remember Jones in Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun. I think he was the first "Real" celebrity they used in that series, and by the time of Red Alert 3 they were using A-list actors for all major roles. But he was the first.

Ed Kranepool has passed away. He was 79.

He was an original 1962 New York Met and on the 1969 team. Later in his career he became a great pinch hitter.

If you're referring to.........."THIS IS CNN". He made millions off of that. Like a million a word.

No, he plays the Commanding General of you, the main player. Even talks to you in the first person. The previous games had only used no-name actors, so this was a huge step in casting. And this was just the type of genre that was right up his alley.

...and one of his lesser-known movies...a great one, also baseball-related. The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars And Motor Kings. He plays a Josh Gibson-like character.

One of the great soliloquies in contemporary movie history:

The only thing wrong with this movie. Ray Liotta plays Shoeless Joe Jackson. He batted right and threw left.

Joe Jackson threw right. Batted left.

D.B. Sweeney portraying Shoeless Joe Jackson in Eight Men Out batted left and threw right. They got it correct.

Annette Heinz, apparently a long-forgotten 1980s performer (though I might have seen her in something then), has died at the age of 71.
