Ah⌠Donnyâs big brother.
I used to listen to them, the Partridge Family & the Carpenters all the time (age 8) till my uncle gave me Sgt. Pepper. Itâs been only downhill since then!

So now only Robert Wyatt is still with us from the original lineup of Soft Machine⌠IMO Mike Ratledge is quite underrated among (prog/fusion) keyboard players despite his unique sound and style.

And Iâm 69 at the end of March this year, the Reaper gets closer every year, maybe I should write a song about that. 
Donât Fear the Reaper. Ironic that a different song by the Blue Oyster Cult just came on the radio as I was reading this.
Bit sad hearing this news late yesterday, especially as Iâd been hacking my way through âThatâs Entertainmentâ and âEnglish Roseâ myself earlier in the day.
I was a little too young to appreciate The Jam during their pomp, but they (and Adam and the Ants 
) were the first âproperâ music I recall listening to back in around 81/82. Both still get a lot of air play here to this day.
Saw Rick 5 or 6 times performing with âFrom The Jamâ over the last decade or so and each time had a fantastic night out. One of those drummers (like Watts, Copeland and Mosely) who just do their thing in the background, unlike the flashy stickmen in the Moon/Nico Mcbrain mould. Foxtonâs enthusiasm on stage certainly more than made up in this area âŚ!
Iâll be putting on the (metaphorical) parka today I think, as I dip into their back catalogue.

I was saddened this morning when I got up to see roberta died. My mom loved her, she was more hippy but she loved the R&B stuff too and always said Flack broke the ceiling. I remember hearing a lot of her music when I was a kid.
I thought I would come in to see if it was posted. I knew you guys would offer the respect she deserved. Well done guys.
