Daevid Allen, January 13 1938 to March 13 2015. Centre, here: I am playing a 50+ minute improvisation on a riff ("The Glorious Om Riff" from an old Gong LP), and got sad again about him having died - he really was the type of person you can't imagine dying - and from his point of view he didn't: Tell me why to die fills us with fear Its not the first its not the last time we'll be born Our turn will come again Pick up put down those clothes of human flesh we wear
He was indirectly responsible for my having moved to London, and a lot of other things as well. I still play his records, a lot. The first song of his I ever heard - quite apposite, really: I've always loved repetition.

Patricia Driscoll "From 1955 to 1957, Patricia introduced Picture Book, a BBC Television series that appeared on Mondays as part of the Watch with Mother cycle and encouraged children to make things. She had a catchphrase: "Do you think you could do this? – I am sure you could if you tried". Driscoll left Picture Book in 1957 to take over from Bernadette O'Farrell the part of Maid Marian opposite Richard Greene in the ITV series The Adventures of Robin Hood for 37 episodes in series 3 and 4"

I used to love Patricia Driscoll. She had a beautifully modulated voice.

Kathleen Harrison (23 February 1892 – 7 December 1995) was a prolific English character actress best remembered for her role as Mrs Huggett (opposite Jack Warner and Petula Clark) in a trio of British post-war comedies about a working-class family's misadventures. To modern viewers she may be best remembered as the charwoman Mrs Dilber opposite Alastair Sim in the 1951 film A Christmas Carol, and as a Cockney charlady who inherits a fortune in Mrs Thursday. She lived to be 103. I used to love Mrs Thursday.

Soledad Rendón Bueno (9 July 1943 – 18 August 1970), better known by her stage names Soledad Miranda or Susann Korda (or sometimes Susan Korday), was an actress and pop singer who was born in Seville, Spain. She frequently starred in the films of Jess Franco, such as Count Dracula and Vampyros Lesbos, appearing in six films for him in 1970 alone. She also released numerous Spanish-language pop songs throughout the mid-sixties. She died in a car accident on a Lisbon highway at age 27, just as her film career was on the verge of taking off.

I still feel sad, reading about that. I did not know of her at all until 3-4 years ago. She's be 70-odd now. But I would never have heard of the woman in my sig had Soledad not died.
