Lost two great musicians recently. I just read about Freddie Garrity from Freddie and the Dreamers. 'I'm Telling You Now" was a swell hit.
And just found out Grant McLennan, the lead singer of one of my favorite bands, the Go-Betweens, died in his sleep a couple weeks ago. They were a marvelous, literate, and melodic band from Tomovoz's land, and they never made it big here, or anywhere really, but one of their albums called "Liberty Belle and the Black Diamond Express" got me through college. The band had broken up and just re-formed in recent years to much critical acclaim.
