Influential music producer Clement 'Coxsone' Dodd died in Jamaica
on May 4th. Dodd's "Studio One" record label was instrumental
(no pun intended) in turning Jamaica into a world music power.
Through his influence over the work of Studio One artsts such
as the Skatalites, the Maytals, and a young Bob Marley, Dodd
changed the course of popular music forever.

Just about every news source is reporting the death of musical pioneer
Ray Charles, at age 73. It would be difficult to overstate Charles'
contribution to the development of soul music and (to a much lesser extent)
his pioneering country crossover work influenced that genre as well.
Yesterday's mail brought me my copy of "The Birth of Soul: the Complete
Atlantic Recordings, 1952-1959", so I guess I know what I'll be listening
to when I get home tonight..

Responding to the suggestion that the late R. Reagan's picture be
placed on the $10 bill, The New Yorker this week ran a cover showing
the picture of Ray Charles on a $10 bill: surely on the grounds that if
a recently deceased person should get this honor, it should be someone
generally admirable.

Generally, or at least in the opinion of The New Yorker.

not that Ray Charles isn't generally admirable, as he is...

Ah. I thought I was hearing "Leonard Bernstein," who I _thought_ died some
years back.

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.

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:
http://news.scotsman.com/archive.cfm?id=118752005
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.
