My goodness this is sad. I've known about her for decades, since about 1981, when I started to get into punk and new wave as a teen.

I was not familiar with the the name of the musician, and the song title was only vaguely familiar.
Then I played the song.
Ah, yes, that guy!

A great song with great legs.....it still gets regular play on the station I listen to each morning on the clock radio. Doucette was a working musician here in Vancouver for a very long time.....50 years or so. Played in many of the seminal bands here. "Mama, Let Him Play"....always.

Sadly, the talented Robert Morse. Good innings, though, as they say.

Canadian hockey legand Guy Lafleur has died, aged only 70.
No cause of death was given, but he had suffered from heart ailments and cancer in the recent past. He was notorious for his smoking (What Quebecker was not???). He essentially quit hockey at age 33 as the Canadiens wanted him to radically change his playing style. Apparently four Stanley Cups, six consecutive 50 plus goals and 100 plus points seasons were not good enough.
He came out of "retirement" later, and I had the chance to watch him play one game - in Quebec City for the now Colorado Avalanche then Quebec Nordiques against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Leafs won.
His first name is of course pronounced "Gee", so the crown chanted "GEEEEEEEEEEEEE..." each time he touched the puck.
That was 1990.

Just to clarify, that's "Gee" with a hard "G" like the word "geese", not a soft "G" like "Gee whiz, I wonder how you pronounce that?"

I first became aware of him from "How to Get Ahead in Business (without really trying). I still break out in "Seven and a Half Cents!" from time to time.

My Pa (84) died on 19.4..
Lucky man! Died in the morning, in five minutes, without any agonies. Consciousness off and that was it. And at home, how he wished.

You have my most sincere sympathies. At least, as you wrote, he went as he wanted to--at home. And 84 years is a good run.
