Notable Deaths, 2011-- Part 1

From the Dec. 25, 2011, Chicago Tribune.

These are just a few they had on the list. I wrote about some on my Dead Page label.

These are ones that had some impact on my life.

JAMES ARNESS-- star of "Gunsmoke"-- "What's going on here?"

NICK ASHFORD-- of singer/songwriter with Ashford & Simpson-- good music.

FRANK BUCKLES-- last American veteran of World War I. I had a lot of entries on him. My two grandfathers were in that war.

CLARENCE CLEMONS-- saxophonist with Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. Could this guy blow a sax.

JEFF CONAWAY-- actor in "Taxi."

DAVID "HONEYBOY" EDWARDS-- blues musician. I love my blues unless they jam.

PETER FALK-- Star of "Colombo"-- "Just one more thing."

More to Come. --Cooter
