a farewell
Gone but not forgotten. Funny men and beautiful women. A fine year end tribute, G.
ReplyDeleteMy 55 is HERE .
Yes, a lot of people moved on this year. Funny how we remember movie stars more than politicians--maybe because they brought us so much more pleasure?
ReplyDeleteHey I actually wrote something on purpose to be short for this week's magpie tales--so I'm using it here too
Two Shadormas on Gloves
And no, a shadorma is not something you add on to the back of the house for more rooms.
We lost quite a crew this year. Thanks for listing a few of the most memorable.
ReplyDeleteMine's up!
what a terrific round up of people we shall miss and so lovely that you remembered dr. john. may they all rest in peace.
ReplyDeletei'm up here
We lost some good ones in 2010.
ReplyDeleteThoughtful 55, G-Man... very appropriate for the final 2010 55.
Mine's also in the New Year's spirit!

ReplyDeleteI am always surprised when I see the run-down of famous people who died - I guess I just don't pay attention to that sort of thing.
ReplyDelete(But no tears from me for Guccione - he's one of those people who makes me wish I did believe in hell.)
Happy New year Galen Dear!
ReplyDeleteMay YOURS be a face we do not say bye to for many many many many years, Galen.
ReplyDeletexxoo
