That was a great film! Ry Cooder has done some great projects. His album Talking Timbuktu with Ali Fourka Touré is excellent!
 
RIP Charlie Watts- keeping the beat of the Rolling Stones for half a century.

LONDON (AP) — Charlie Watts, the self-effacing and unshakeable Rolling Stones drummer who helped anchor one of rock’s greatest rhythm sections and used his “day job” to support his enduring love of jazz, has died, according to his publicist. He was 80.

Moody Blues

(from the New York Times)
Graeme Edge, the drummer and co-founder of the British band the Moody Blues, for whom he wrote many of the spoken-word poems that, appended to songs like “Nights in White Satin,” helped make the group a pioneer in the progressive rock movement of the 1960s and ’70s, died on Thursday [Nov.11] at his home in Bradenton, Fla. He was 80.

Rilla Fleming, his partner, said the cause was metastatic cancer.

The Moody Blues first gained attention as part of the British Invasion that dominated the American rock scene in the mid-1960s. Their repertoire originally consisted largely of R&B covers, but by their second album, “Days of Future Passed” (1967), they had developed the blend of orchestral and rock music that would make them famous.

“In the late 1960s we became the group that Graeme always wanted it to be, and he was called upon to be a poet as well as a drummer,” Justin Hayward, the band’s lead singer, wrote in a statement on the Moody Blues website after Mr. Edge’s death. “He delivered that beautifully and brilliantly, while creating an atmosphere and setting that the music would never have achieved without his words.”
