Received an e-mail announcing the death of famed bandsman from Eastman School
of Music, Frederick Fennell, on Tuesday, December 7, 2004.
Writes his daughter:
Dad asked to be cremated and that
I scatter his ashes in the woods at Interlochen, Michigan this summer.

Spencer Dryden, the drummer for the Jefferson Airplane through their
glory years, has died of cancer at the age of 66. Dryden had had
health problems for years and was nearly destitute.

Martyn Bennett died on Sunday, age 33, "following a long
battle with Hodgkin's Lymphoma."
Martyn's last album, GRIT, was a techno-folk masterpiece which
was developed while he was recuperating at his parents' home,
and listening to old traditional Scottish folk LPs.
GRIT was my pick for my favorite CD of 2003.
Here's an obituary from a Scottish newspaper:

Over the last five years, Martyn was probably the musician
whose new recordings I most eagerly looked forward to. I knew that
this premature death was a possibility, but he had sounded pretty
good in the last round of interviews on BBC radio shows.

I liked this odd scrap of info from his biography in the All Musig Guide:
> He served as personal piper to the president of Tanzania during the
> president's visit to Edinburgh.
