Was introduced to a Kenny hit I wasn't familiar with by a young whipper-snapper I worked with in Ireland many years ago.

Yeah I just heard that too, big loss. Lot of his music is too close to jazz for my taste but I have the album Wakafrica which is great, even got it on record a couple of years ago. I have a fair bit of music from Africa, love it.

So Sad big name in the Jazz world , one of my fave modern Jazz guys .
Wallace Roney, a virtuoso trumpeter whose term as Miles Davis’s only true protégé opened onto a prominent career in jazz, died on Tuesday in Paterson, N.J. He was 59.

The cause was complications of the coronavirus,

Vale Adam Schlesinger from Fountains of Wayne who died as a result of Corona Virus aged 52.

I spent a lot to time watching this film clip as a young man.


Did you know that Stacey's Mum in the video clip was Rachel Hunter? Man, old Rod Stewart knew what he was about there. I remember the clip, but only found out a few years ago who the Mum in the video clip was.

If you can ever be bothered, look up the daughter in the pop clip. Her name is Gianna Distenca. She is pretty damn hot as well.

I’m not old enough to remember it when it first screened, but a big Bond fan. The franchise has been going so long that we’ve lost a few characters in more recent times.
