From wikipedia:
"Ian Dawson Tyson CM AOE (September 25, 1933 – December 29, 2022) was a Canadian singer-songwriter who wrote a significant number of modern folk songs, including “Four Strong Winds" and "Someday Soon", and performed with partner Sylvia Tyson as the duo Ian & Sylvia." I spent much time listening to them and also others covering their tunes during The Great Folk Scare of the 60's."I'm the Grim Reaper now, Mitch. Step aside." Death to #TzarVladimirtheCondemned!

on 3rd thought, AZPaul3, it must have been rather rude of me to post so soon after your post. for 8 days there was nothin. Then i hear about Ian Tyson, write it and hit POST only to have it replace your post in Percy's listing. i should always hit the REFRESH button first!
i'm not sure I ever liked the SNL Baba Wawa, but anyway, thanks!"I'm the Grim Reaper now, Mitch. Step aside." Death to #TzarVladimirtheCondemned! Enjoy every sandwich! - xongsmith, 5.7dawkins scale

When I see so many names from my youth (such as Jeff Beck) I am reminded of my own mortality and how I, as all of us, am only here for a relatively short time. It makes me think!

And again you make everything about yourself and drag stuff off-topic. You were a mod? What the hell was Percy thinking?

Why would I bother to think up insults and condescending comments about you when I can just throw the mud back at you that you sling at me? It saves mud.
Anyway, my intention was simply to honor the memory of Jeff Beck as I remember him.You are the one who attacked me for my eulogy.

Another word you do not know the meaning of.
Eulogy
quote:Eulogy - Wikipedia Instead of talking about him, you talked about your own mortality. Not a eulogy.What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda.

My mistake. I was simply recounting my memories of knowing about him when I was growing up. I remember the super group of Paige,Clapton and Beck and I remember exploring his songs and style of guitar playing. We all endlessly discussed (and argued) about who was the greatest or best guitarist. I defended Beck, though the front runners were Hendrix vs Jimmy Paige.
