RIP: To remember those lost to us, whether close or at large

Peter Schjeldahl, adventurous art critic at the New Yorker.  Beautifully constructed and articulated pieces that were like whirlwind symphonies in grabbing readers up, and they were also funny; I looked at things I never would have to try to see what he saw and always came away richened.

No!

I have loved him from afar these many years. His latest article in the 'New Yorker' was just a few weeks ago; I was about to send a letter to the editor in recognition of his work.

RIP, you gave us deeper eyes to see with, and hearts to understand what we saw.

Msgr. Michael Doyle, remarkable presence in Camden, NJ, from the time he was one of the Camden 28 war resisters, and who did much to help create a critical mass of energy and repair over his 60 years in the city. https://www.inquirer.com/obituaries/michael-doyle-obituary-sacred-heart-camden-20221104.html

Mimi Parker of Low, the Duluth band, dead of cancer at 55. One of the great indie bands, they were together 29 years. Mimi had a great voice. I saw them several times in the last few years, for which I'm grateful.

Gallagher! 
Died today (11 11 2022) at age 76.

No one else can swing the Sledge o Matic with the same degree of skill!  He made me happy, and will be missed.

Remembering Charles Schulz on his 100th birthday:

Posted on NPR online 11/26/22
Many popular daily syndicated comic strips are celebrating Mr. Schulz and the Peanuts gang.

Of interest, special editions of "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" (1966) and "A Charlie Brown Christmas" (1965) soundtrack albums were released over the summer and fall. Both albums feature previously unheard studio recording outtakes.
