While every year we lose musicians and entertainers who somehow find their way into our memories and touch our lives, this year seems particularly tough for us 50-something geezers.
As the Righteous Brothers sang, " If there's a Rock-n-Roll Heaven, you know they got a helluva band."

Lost my father back in November, hard working/family loving man, I'll always remember the good times we had together!

It did seem to be a surprisingly big year when it came to notable passings.

Re: RIP: 2017
I saw a Soundgarden show this year about three weeks before his death. One of the greatest singing voiced ever.

George "The Animal" Steele, Superfly Jimmy Snuka, Ivan Koloff and Bobby "The Weasel" Heenan. All great ones of the former era and before I quit watching 'rasslin.
