We lost 2 great designer/innovators with these 2 .  Sad to see the OG passing and leaving us with some of the present fare that are all about the $$$ over solid, basic design work.  Audio jewelry is fine, but give me sonics over the pretty face.

The Seekers 1964 song " i'll never find another you" comes to mind and is a favorite of mine

Olivia Newton-John has lost her 30 year-long battle with metastasized breast cancer.  A beautiful person, lady, spirit and soul is gone.

Living with a cancer diagnosis is very, very hard and she exuded nothing but class and grace during her illness.
Live well in the place of our Lord! ❤️

 Chris Sommovigo of Black Cat Cables Suddenly presumably from a heart attack. This is getting depressing

[James Edward]

Wow- Chris was an innovator and I owned one of his digital cables- I sold it to a fellow club member thinking I'd never need it again... Mistake.
RIP Chris.
