Lost JD Souther Yesterday.
Anybody remember the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band? Had that album.
Have it.

JD Souther was a great songwriter.  He lived about 30 miles from me and did occasional impromptu gigs around here. 😓

Bill Walton would have been very sad. He was quite the Deadhead

Mr. Peter Yarrow from Peter, Paul, and Mary has just passed away. Really enjoyed their songs, from
a child growing up to political and disasterous aspects of life and war, had deep, relevant meanings.

I saw PP&M at the University of New Mexico Sub Ballroom in 1967.  They were great.

RIP Peter.

PP&M goes back such a long ways. What a different era. Thanks for posting, Steve

Yes- RIP Garth. Just this weekend I was with some friends and he came up in conversation as the last surviving member. Time is fleeting.

Just saw this post over at AC by Mary that Frank Van Alstine passed

Some very sad news
? on: 30 Jan 2025, 09:27 pm ?
We are saddened to announce that after a short illness, our founder, Frank Van Alstine, died on Wednesday, January 29th. Frank had been an innovator in the audio industry for over 57 years. Always bringing a ?no nonsense approach? to the products he offered, satisfying his passion for creating high quality products with high value was always his primary goal. His greatest joy in business was from the happy letters and feedback he received from his customers.

At the time of his death, Frank had been transitioning toward full retirement. His staff has been skillfully managing the business for the last few years. Daily operations, manufacturing, engineering and product development, and service on AVA products continue without pause.

Many of Frank?s staff have worked with him for decades. We started as his customers and were drawn to his passion for audio. We were audiophiles, and we became his friends. He will be greatly missed!

Frank was a good guy, always willing to share his knowledge with anyone who asked.  He will be missed.
