Book of Condolence Thread

[caramel sea salt]

You think it will never happen to you, that it cannot happen to you, that you are the only person in the world to whom none of these things will ever happen, and then, one by one, they all begin to happen to you, in the same way they happen to everyone else.

Yes. He was a very good character actor. He kind of knew everyone, so it's been a shock. I saw him at the BBC not that long ago.

Not really - I just wondered if I'd been booted.

Bit depressing to have something to post on this thread - and we lost another star today - Chris McClure - he was in a band, but he did a lot of panto.

RIP Saxophonist David Sanborn

‘The American jazz saxophonist David Sanborn played on this song about, amusingly enough, winning. Bowie told the Mail on Sunday June 29, 2008: "He was experimenting with sound effects at the time and I'd rather hoped he would push further into that area, but he chose to become rich and famous instead. So he did win really, didn't he?"

Wonder what experimental David Sanborn was like.

His work? I believe David was referring to what Sanborn was into at that time in 75. If you listen to that song Win, it may be a good example. Being that it probably was Sanborn’s idea (& not Visconti’s) to put his sax through delay effects, may have been an echoplex. It’s always been one of my favorite parts of that song.

Sanborn took on Bowie's studio sax parts for Drive-In Saturday when it was briefly played live in C'74.
RIP.

First victim in Jaws has died aged 77

Susan Backlinie played a skinny dipper who was violently attacked by an unseen great white shark in the opening scenes of the classic film.

Quentin Tarantino has said that Jaws is the best movie ever made. Not the best film ever made, but the best 'movie'. I think he is probably right.
