As I remember, John Denver died while piloting a self-propelled plane. A real tragedy.

Jim Croce's death really shook me all those years ago; I was in college back in 1973. His best songs weren't the Top 40 hits. He was my favorite at the time.

I confess, I hate to fly. It doesn't matter that I've only flown on (relatively) large commercial airplanes, I just don't like it. Period.

I had heard of Jenni Rivera, but I really didn't know very much about her. According to the TV news reports, she had been signed to appear in an ABC-TV series. She also had children and grandchildren. What a horrible tragedy for all concerned. frown


Signor V.

"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
