Can let the passing of Andre Previn pass without comment......

A Musical genius, composer, multi instramentalist, resident conductor at most of the biggest and most important orchestras in the world and for 10 minutes or so a comedy straight man.......

I don't think there were too many serious musicians who would have played that straight man back then, that 10 minutes brought him a whole new audience. As you say a musical genius, RIP...

RIP and immense respect to John King, 77, who developed motor neurone disease 18 months ago and whose health deteriorated rapidly as a result. Yesterday he died, by choice, through the simple act of deliberately taking off his oxygen mask (apparently this does not count as assisted dying). He gave an interview to the BBC explaining very cogently his reasoning a couple of days before.

One of the most memorable nights at HQ, seemed as if the whole country was willing McGuigan on, you had to feel sorry for Pedroza who had been a great champion but was past his peak and on the night McGuigan eventually overwhelmed him...
