Fryktelig trist å høre.
Han var en barndomsvenn av meg - vi vokste opp på nedre Bekkelaget. Jeg kan godt huske at han allerede som 14-15 åring, hadde en betydelig samling av plater - fortrinnsvis singler.
Jeg lånte tidvis noen av disse, og har fortsatt ti-tolv stykker som jeg aldri rakk å levere tilbake. Forsøkte faktisk å få tak i ham ved flere anledninger, men fikk aldri noen respons.....
R.I.P. TorLeit å lese. RIP.
Ja, husker ham godt fra Beat, som til tider var ganske så brukbart lesestoff.
Og nå har Jon Bing lagt på røret også...
Jon Bing er d?d - kultur - Dagbladet.no
Trist.
Jon Bing var i en periode gift med tremenningen min.
Han var en av de aller mest intellegente menneskene
jeg noen sinne har pratet med.

Bing, Milde og Johansen !
Hedersmenn faller for fote i dag !
Minnes også Milde fra tiden i Beat. Dengang vi hadde en særs oppegående og underholdende musikkpresse for rock og tilhørende musikalske slektsskap.
Hvil i fred Dr.Bing. Du hadde mye og fare med.
Hvil i fred Per Eirik Johansen. Du var en bra mann, og har gjort mye bra i musikkens tjeneste.
Please la dette bli siste gangen jeg poster i denne tråden på en god stund. Mine tanker går til alle 3 avdøde sine nærmeste.
Har vær så heldig å få besøke Bing et par ganger og han var en meget intelligent og ikke minst morsom mann. Hans kunnskap og fasinasjon med bl.a. science fiction, IKT og elefanter kommer jeg aldri til å glemme. Ikke hans fiolette hus heller!
OU81215. Januar var en svart dag for kulturen. Ikke bare døde Milde, Bing og Johansen, men Aage Teigen, betydelig tradjazzmusiker og ikke minst stifter og mangeårig leder av Oslo Jazzfestival, gikk også ut av tiden denne dagen..
Var det ikke Tor Milde som klinte opp en feit overskrift på en artikkel i Beat omtrent sånn: JEG HATER U2!, med bilde av seg selv hvor han pønka istykker en Bono-signert cd-plate av nevnte band? Uten tvil en hedersmann med sunne verdier, måtte han hvile i fred.
Nei og nei. En fantastisk gitarist har stilnet. Hvil i fred!Jazzgitaristen Ronny Jordan er død i en alder av 51 år. R.I.P.
Husker en fin Steve Khan konsert jeg var på, i gamle Cosmopolite på Majorstua. Der spilte de to hele Ronnie Jordan CD'er over PA anlegget før gutta gikk på. Fin stigning i programmet! RIP Ronnie, du svingte i hvertfall skikkelig den korte tiden du fikk virke!
Travis Jackson er død
Travis Jackson — founder of Windian Records and drummer of the Points — has died
Arlo Guthrie:
"Pete Seeger: I usually do a little meditation and prayer every night before I go to sleep - Just part of the routine. Last night, I decided to go visit Pete Se...eger for a while, just to spend a little time together, it was around 9 PM. So I was sitting in my home in Florida, having a lovely chat with Pete, who was in a hospital in New York City. That's the great thing about thoughts and prayers- You can go or be anywhere. I simply wanted him to know that I loved him dearly, like a father in some ways, a mentor in others and just as a dear friend a lot of the time. I'd grown up that way - loving the Seegers - Pete & Toshi and all their family. I let him know I was having trouble writing his obituary (as I'd been asked) but it seemed just so silly and I couldn't think of anything that didn't sound trite or plain stupid. "They'll say something appropriate in the news," we agreed. We laughed, we talked, and I took my leave about 9:30 last night. "Arlo" he said, sounding just like the man I've known all of my life, "I guess I'll see ya later." I've always loved the rising and falling inflections in his voice. "Pete," I said. "I guess we will." I turned off the light and closed my eyes and fell asleep until very early this morning, about 3 AM when the texts and phone calls started coming in from friends telling me Pete had passed away. "Well, of course he passed away!" I'm telling everyone this morning. "But that doesn't mean he's gone.""
En stor visesanger er borte, ikke mer en noen dager siden jeg så noen klipp på YouTube med han.
RIP

King Kahn sier:
REMEMBERING THE MIGHTY HANNIBAL
By Arish Ahmad Khan
The Mighty Hannibal was a true revolutionary and will always be one of the the greatest. The first time I met Hannibal he told me that he was going blind. He told me that when the doctors told him that he would lose his sight if he didn't take his medication, he simply replied "I've seen enough." When he would talk to me about his recent blindness he would tell me how it was such a blessing, how it was the best thing ever because you can't judge a person by what they look like. I'd never heard someone give such a powerful sermon celebrating his recent loss of sight.
The first time I went to get him from his apartment I offered him my arm to hold on to to walk down the 4 flights of stairs. He refused my arm the first time and said "I gotta learn how to do this." So I let him go down the stairs first which I quickly realized was a very foolish move because if he fell I would have to leap and try and catch him. I followed him down the stairs and it might have taken us 20 minutes, every step he took I watched and prayed that he wouldn't fall. It might have been the longest 20 minutes of my life but when he made it to the door he extended his arm and said "I'm ready for ya."
I leapt up like a panther and walked arm in arm with him thru the streets of the Bronx where he lived until his last day. That walking arm in arm became a little ritual which I would be so lucky to perform whenever he needed me to walk him on and off the stage.
That was the day I met my mentor. I had never had a mentor before. I didn't know what that even was or meant but as Hannibal and I became closer he practically adopted me as a son. He called my children his grandchildren, and he would talk to them on the phone. He was so excited when I told him that my daughters listen to his music when they did math homework because his music made them better at math. He would call me every week some months and get mad at me if I wouldn't return his calls fast enough.
It seems that Hannibal had a list of folks that he would call regularly and check in with. Jared Swilley and I were high up on that list, and that meant very much to both of us. We were his proteges, he was proud of us.
When I had my major nervous breakdown a few years back which sent me to seek emergency psychiatric help who was it that called me every week and told me that i would be alright? Who called me and assured me that I should just relax, take a break and enjoy time with my family because that was the most important thing in life? It was the Mighty Hannibal.
When I was asked by Hal Willner to take part in his "Freedom Rides" performance which was a celebration of the civil rights movement, he was thrilled when I told him I wanted to perform Hannibal's "Hymn No.5". I got to sing one of the greatest anti-war protest songs ever written in the Royal Festival Hall in London with a twenty piece band. I remember Hannibal calling me after he heard the performance and telling me how proud he was of me.
Hannibal was like a father to me and I will always treasure every moment that I got to spend with him. His life is what I would call "The American Dream". His tales could make you fall on the floor laughing hysterically or make you cry the greatest cry. He was one of the pilgrims of R&B and truly put the message right back into the music where it belongs. I will proudly carry on his torch and continue to bring light to the darkest places in this world.
Long live the Mighty Hannibal!
Paco De Lucia, RIP. -
