A to Z Change: Robert Smith's Birthday

It is R day on the challenge. R is for Robert, like Robert Smith of The Cure who turns 57.

R day lands on a Friday so this song is a perfect way to start our birthday celebration..

It's "Just Like Heaven"...

"Pictures of You"...

"Close to me"...

That should be a good way to spend your Friday with some great hits from the 80s and 90s.

Happy Birthday Robert Smith!

R.I.P George Marino

George Marino was an engineering giant in the music world. The mastering engineer is one of the important people behind the scenes who make an album (or whatever you listen to music nowadays) sound the way it does. George had worked with albums by Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, John Lennon, Guns and Roses, AC/DC, the Cure and many, many more. Some of the biggest names in music. This page lists his credits, it is quite impressive.

He died of lung cancer. Sad news he will be missed in the music world.
