I hear Charlie Watts has died.
The civilised stone, you would have thought he would be the last to go.

Yep, sad news. He was a good old boy.
Also Don Everly and one of the founder members of UB40. I guess this sort of sad news is going start coming thick and fast in the future given that most were famous back in the 1950s/60s/70s.

 The talent listed in this subject is a good reminder of how lucky we were to have lived through that era, much of today warbling is well-warbling

I'm sure the music from the current era will be fondly remembered by today's yoof when they are oldun's.

When we have our grandchildren in the car we often play Beatles songs. The kids love it and ask us which Beatle is singing now. 👍
