R.I.P Mary Wilson

Mary Wilson was a founding member of the Supremes, a long time Las Vegas singer, and a best selling author. Sadly she passed away on the 8th.

                                                                        Here she performs                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You"


Her place in Motown and music history was sealed when she was in the Supremes. She will be missed by her friends, family and fans.

R.I.P Siegfried Fischbacher

 Siegfried Fischbacher, better known as one half of the duo Siegfried &Roy. Siegfried lost his partner last year and this week lost his battle with cancer. He was an illusionist, magician, animal handler, and showman.


                                              A tribute from "People Magazine"


The couple were icons in Las Vegas. Masters of entertainment until an accidental attack by a tiger on Roy derailed their show. The world will miss the legend. However he is back with his partner may he rest in peace.

R.I.P 59, 500 others I wish a speedy recovery

Entering some concert venues now days is almost like boarding a plane. Metal detectors, emptying your pockets, being patted down are all inconveniences  concert goers have to go through.  Look at the headlines in recent years about violent attacks and you can see why they are needed. Now this  latest attack from a hotel room near a venue ends up killing 59 and wounding 500.


59 people killed and 500 injured from one person. Shocking! A tragedy. Obviously my prayers and thoughts are with those killed or injured. It is also with their friends and family.  Does it concern me? Yes, it could be me, one of my friends or love ones being killed or injured.

Terrorist, crazy people, criminals pick your labels if you want. The labels don't change results. Don't heal the wounded or bring back the dead either.
