R.I.P. - Passing of Famous/Notable Persons

[Ridge Runner]

Definitely a true lady of her time, while reading about Vera Lynn on Wikipedia her spirit reminds me of my grandmother, mother and aunties who lived through the 2nd world war era. Such an amazing lady to give so much of her life to lift other people's spirit and let them escape the trouble around them for a brief moment.

RIP Vera Lynn :flowers:

Yeah mate I agree, feels like loosing a member of the family,

In March she had just started performing again, at 103 she's a special type of person, erfect: :trophy:

RIP Dame Vera
Mackka :flowers: :flowers: :flowers: 8.(

That is a fair gap between her passing and the funeral. Is is going to be a public funeral and are there restrictions ?

 

[Manpa]

The gap was caused by the fact dont know where, dont know when, well meet again! :flowers:

 

[Deepseeker]

I'd say death would be the major restriction on her giving us a tune.........

Due to the population etc these things take a couple of weeks or more but now with CV-19 as well has increased the work load on funeral companies.

Great guitarist who couldnt read a musical note.Legend. :flowers: R I P Eddie. :flowers:

He Could read music, Originally he trained as a Classical Pianist, and some how he managed to convert his knowledge to Guitar, Not my type of music but I have to admit he became the Master of his Craft. Truly Iconic,

R.I.P Eddie, :flowers:

 

[Booney]

One of the greats

 

[Jaros]

One of the best to go recently-sadly....all near my age group??

 

[DrDuck]

Never warmed to EVH much, but liked this version of one of his songs.

Paul Anka's version of Smells Like Teen Spirit is even better. I always got some puzzled looks when I sang that at Karaoke.

It's amazing-I have only met one person who played piano accordian,trumpet and trombone but couldn't read music. He worked at a Garden Nursery in Dingley Vic.
Dutch by birth but a really nice bloke and was our -apart from me- the piano accordian,trumpet and trombone. A real asset to the 6 piece band.

65 is way too young ..music has lost another great one RIP EVH
