It's been reported through 'Facebook' that folk artist Mick Softley has died at the age of 77.
“Music is the world’s essence. Culture is the musical rhythm through which the world grows” (Aleksandr Blok). It engages many emotions and when touches us may stimulate exploration. Such is this journey, with friends of a minstrel who chose not to fit any foisted construct—including that of the music biz—but to go his own way. Never wavering from the bohemian life of his songs, Mick Softley epitomises the 60s and traits of the English spirit."
- Brian Banks, 'Mick Softley : A Rebel Life With Friends And Music'
Mick Softley R.I.P.

Walter Becker, guitarist & bassist in legendary rock n roll outfit Steely Dan, has died at the age of 67. He's remembered in 'Rolling Stone' : Walter Becker (1950 - 2017)Thanks for the music. Walter Becker Rest in Peace From a band that made me go:
Wow. "THEY do that song?" on more than one occasion.
I had recognized the opening riff to Hey Nineteen, but I didn't know it was Steely Dan.
As well, on an episode of "The Simpsons", Homer started singing "Dirty Work". I didn't know the song he was singing, until I rewound the episode, and put on the closed-captioning. That was when I found out it was "Dirty Work" by Steely Dan.
In fact, "Dirty Work" is tied for #17 in most played songs on my iPod. I'm going to play it now to bump it up to being tied for #16.
RIP Walter Becker.

Walter Becker Rest in Peace Sad news indeed. As a teenager I used to hang around with a slightly older crowd who regularly played SD records at their parties. That's how I grew to appreciate their music. They're still among my favorite bands. RIP, Walter.

May Don and Troy be the only ones who go in country music. I pray that Glen Campbell going last month would be considered the person who completes the set of three.
God bless you and those who love these wonderful singers always!!!

Agreed.
I follow Jason McCoy on facebook. He is a part of the group The Road Hammers. I have also been following his career since the beginning. His solo album came out in 1995. I saw him in concert in Paris, Ontario, Canada in 1997. After the show, I talked with him, and he autographed the CD covers of the 2 CD I had of his.
Anyway...I'm straying from the point.
He posted a picture of both Troy Gentry and Don Williams. I had heard about Troy's passing, but not Don's.
RIP Troy Gentry and Don Williams.
