He was 86. Black died at his home in the San Francisco suburb of Woodside, with his wife of 55 years and other family members by his side. He had suffered from the bone disorder myelodysplastic syndrome for nearly three years. The couple met in 1950 in Honolulu, where Black had been working for a shipping company. They married that year. After moving to California, Black started a fishing and hatchery company and worked as a consultant on maritime issues. He served on a U.S. Commerce Department advisory committee as well as various National Research Council panels. He also co-founded a Massachusetts-based company that developed unmanned deep ocean search and survey imaging systems. Born in 1919, Black earned a master's degree in business from Stanford University and served as a naval intelligence officer in the Pacific theater during World War II, earning the Silver Star and other honors. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Aug 2005 08:12:49 -0700 From: "Marc Alberts" Subject: RE: Hmn...nmH Eb wrote: > Marc "Voice of the Nets" Alberts wrote: Don't worry--I don't bite.

That does clear it up, although my list of bands that I stopped liking at some point because they just flat out lost me is much larger (REM and U2 come to mind). I guess Styx would have to be on the list as was previously mentioned. Others I'd include would be: Dave Matthews Band Counting Crows 4 Non Blondes Crash Test Dummies Letters to Cleo Hole Alice in Chains That's probably about it, although I was never a big Hole or Alice in Chains fan I did tolerate them and now can't even hear a few bars of "Doll Parts" or "The Rooster" so I've included them. I'm sure there are others, but those are the ones that come to mind. Marc ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 06 Aug 2005 12:04:35 -0400 From: "Stewart C. Russell" Subject: Re: Attn: M.

Yeah, but thermodynamics tells us that while it will be cooler for the folks on the bus, it'll be way hotter for the unfortunates near the bus ... so maybe the CTA was being evil after all.

Stewart, I'm stunned -- how can a Scots Canadian know the insidious eeeeeeeeevil of CTA so well??? Well done.

That song whose title I'm thankfully forgetting has to be one of the most annoying hits ever.

I could never learn the words of this song, as once I had embarked on "Lord I'm one Lord I'm two Lord I'm three Lord I'm four" I just kept going with "Lord I'm five Lord I'm six Lord I'm seven" and so on up to eleven - by which time it was too late. Along with Jackson C Frank's "Blues have run the game", this is the song which you were most likely to hear in London folk clubs in the late 60s - but I never saw Hedy West perform it. - - Mike Godwin PS Don't think I have missed all those English solecisms.

Apparently it was something of an "eh" day musically; reports had Pixies, Dinosaur Jr. and Arcade Fire rocking (no surprises there) and just about everybody else sucking. Knowing Arcade Fire would be back - scored tix today! - I gave it a miss, but I'm glad to see word reached the hinterlands of Wisconsin. I thought maybe telegraph wires stopped at the border or something. Not sure how I missed it, but apparently what's left of Paul Rodgers has been fronting what's left of Queen since late March (http://www.queenpluspaulrodgers.com/ ). After mulling this over, I can't really see anything wrong with it. Which kind of worries me. In other news, a bunch of funny-looking foreigners have started up a weekly cricket match on the baseball field near our house. The fun begins each Saturday morning around 9; and after watching this unfold for a few weeks now, I can't really find anything wrong with it either. Which worries me even more. Any "sport" that involves this much standing around, drinking and smoking has to be worth something.

He was 78. The Montuno production company did not give a cause of death, but Ferrer's colleagues said he suffered from emphysema and was feeling ill earlier in the week. Known for his trademark cap and graying mustache, Ferrer was a wiry, animated figure who clearly enjoyed performing Cuba's traditional "son" music of the 1940s and 1950s for new generations of fans. Among a group of older Cuban performers recruited by U.S. musician Ry Cooder, Ferrer performed on the "Buena Vista Social Club album" that won a Grammy in 1999, and was among those appearing in the film of the same name. "I felt like he was my brother," said fellow Buena Vista performer, the guitarist Manuel Galban. "He was a great musician and a great companion." Also in 1999, Ferrer was featured in one of a string of albums that followed, "Buena Vista Social Club Presents Ibrahim Ferrer," and won a Latin Grammy for best new artist in 2000.
