Big of a shock that one - only read recently that he confirmed he wouldn’t direct again. Vale to the man. Man I’m getting old

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

Mulholland Drive was a neat movie


RIP

Earlier this week Arnold Frolows, one time 2JJJ presenter and program director passed away. He hosted the Ambient music show on Sunday nights in the 80s. He was also one of the first people to be hired by the station, which incidently will celebrate its 50th anniversary this Sunday. I was one of the shy suburban teenagers who was a listener right from the first broadcast.

Hey Tom, was it Double J when it first started? I also remember listening to the station from the early days. One I can vividly recall was this crazy new style music from an artist named Bob Marley.

It was great radio back in the day.

That it was.
Back in the pre-FM radio days.

RIP Bob Uecker actor in Major League, well known baseball commentary, and short stint in WWF

Yes, 2JJ, 1540 on the AM band. And I remember hearing lots of Bob Marley in the early years too, though I was introduced to Bob Marley and the Wailers via Chris Winter's Room to Move show on 2BL in 1974.

You gotta free me
'cause I can't give the best
Unless I got room to move.

RIP Garth Hudson, oldest and last surviving member of The Band, who played keyboards, sax and squeeze box.

I know that BBB is a big fan of The Band's version of Baby Let Me Follow You Down.

 

[Quigs]

I like Dylan's version

 

[bad boy bubby]

Damn. Out of a bunch of extremely talented musos, Garth was top of their list.
When they asked him to join what was then, The Hawks, Ronnie Hawkins band (which did eventually become The Band), he insisted that every member pay him an extra $10 per week. This was to justify the move to his parents, who he feared would think he was squandering his years of music education by playing in a rock and roll band.

I watched The Last Waltz again last week for about the 150th time.
