R.I.P Coach Tony Ingle

 If you are a BYU Cougar basketball fan you might have heard of Tony Ingle. He was an assistant coach from 1989 to 1996. He was an interim head coach for part of a season going 0-19. He started his coaching career at Gordon and then Alabama-Huntsville. 

Obviously 0-19 was not good for his career and he was replaced. His hoops career continued as a scout for the NBA Utah Jazz. He went on to coach Kennesaw State where he won an NCAA Division II Championship and finished his career at Dalton State where he won an NAIA Championship.

His death was related to complications with Covid-19. He will be missed by his family, friends and those he coached! 

Phil Spector has passed away

 Phil Specter has passed away at the age of 81 in prison for murder. His death was probably Covid-19 related. I hope the victim's family gets peace and comfort with his passing. 

He was a musician, songwriter, guitarists founder Teddy Bears who had a number one hit with  "To Know Him is to love Him." 

At 21 he became the youngest record label owner when he co-founded Philles Records. He wrote songs, co-wrote, produced for artists like Ike and Tina Turner and The Ronettes to name a few.

After a short retirement he came back to the music world in a big way. Producing The Beatles "Let it Be" album and solo efforts by George Harrison and John Lennon. 

He won a Grammy Award, he has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame. 

R.I.P John Prine

Covid-19 took another musician. This time it was the legendary John Prine an influential and two time Grammy Award winning singer songwriter. If you like Bonnie Raitt he wrote this song..

                                          Bonnie and John "Angel from Montgomery"

Who knows maybe I will run into him in heaven and join him for a vodka and ginger ale at the Tree of Forgiveness. "When I Get to Heaven"

"Hello in There"

Here he is with Iris DeMent "In Spite of Ourselves"

A to Z: Covid 19 Blues

Once Corona was a beer. Open a cold bottle slide a wedge a lime inside. Used to be Jimmy Buffett's beer till he bought Landshark.

Of all the things it could be it turned into a virus, all that pent up anger I guess.

It could have been "Corinna" and Taj Mahal would sing about it...

Are you sure it's not Corvid 19, the Black Crowes did just get back together..

Maybe they are the "Remedy."

Yes Covid 19 is serious. It has spread the world faster than a "Love Trrain"

People have died. People have gotten very sick. Pretty much everything has been closed down. Hope is what we got. Hope for a vaccine. Hope that it will pass. 

See you something for D

R.I.P Joe Diffie

I bcame a pickup man earlier in this crazy month so I officially became a "Pickup Man."

Sadly Joe Diffie passed away due to COVID-19. Joe was Country Music hitmaker, a Grammy Award winning musician. 

He wasn't "Bigger Than The Beatles"

A lot of us are staying "Home"

On "The Third Rock from the Sun"

"If The Devil Danced (In Empty Pockets"

He will be missed may he R.I.P.
