Sleepy LaBeef has died aged 84.
R.I.P.
This is the Sleepy LaBeef that I think has passed away: An entertaining singer with a country flavour. "Sleepy LaBeef is larger than life in many ways. Certainly, there is an aura of greatness surrounding his 6'7", 265 pound frame; but it's larger than that. Yes, his history, talent and song catalog are legendary; but there is more to his story than just names, numbers and press releases. Born in Smackover, Arkansas, the youngest of 10 children, in 1935; he was raised on a melon farm and received his nickname as a result of his drooping eyelids. He moved to Houston, Texas at 18, where he sang Gospel music on a local radio station. In the '50's and '60's, he adapted his Country Blues/Gospel sound to the emerging Rockabilly and began recording singles in that genre. In '64, Sleepy moved back to Nashville, budged back to a more Country style; and released his music on Columbia Records.
He also starred in a horror flick "The Exotic Ones" aka "The Monster and The Stripper"; and transferred to Sun Records; in the '70's. In the '80's, he went to Rounder Records, in Mass., and continued to continuously tour and release albums."

Producer Lee Mendelson, who helped create dozens of animated "Peanuts" specials for TV, passed away on Christmas Day at the age of 86. He worked on the very first special, A Charlie Brown Christmas, in 1965, and also wrote the lyrics to "Christmas Time is Here," one of the songs from the show. He also worked on the animated series Garfield and Friends.
Thank you, Mr. Mendelson, for one of the truly great Christmas specials. RIP.

Above: the look on her face tells you all you need to know about having to share a table with that psychotic creep.
Below: you can tell he is Welsh not English. No English gentleman would remain seated while three ladies stand.
