From the Nov. 20, 2013, Mail Online (UK) "What if they had lived to fade away? Rock and roll legends who died young imagined in old age with help of photo technology."
My wife sent me this and was it ever interesting to see what what these guys and gals would probably look today had they lived:
Jim Morrison, Bob Marley, Mama Cass, Curt Cobain, Bobby Darrin, Karen Carpenter, John Lennon, Keith Moon, Janis Joplin, Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix and Dennis Wilson.

A to Z Just Ended
Well, this covers a lot of Classic Rock history. I've been listening to a lot of the show this past week.
That's some eight days and over 2,000 songs straight through for WDRV. I can start listening to my Beach Music and Americana Music again.
I've been following it in my Down Da Road Blog ever since last Wednesday. Actually, this post was supposed to be in that blog, but I forgot I was in the history blog. But, after all, it is history.
THE LAST SONGS
Young Americans-- David Bowie
Empty Spaces/Young Lust-- Pink Floyd
Your Love-- Outfield
Your Mama Don't Dance-- Loggins & Messina
Your Mother Should Know-- Beatles
Your Song-- Elton John
Your Time Is Gonna Come-- Led Zeppelin
Your Wildest Dreams-- Moody Blues
Yours Is No Disgrace-- Yes
Ziggy Stardust-- David Bowie
The Zoo-- Scorpions
Started at 4 PM last Tuesday, Ended at 8:47 Today.
Can't Wait Until the Next Time. --RoadDog

Dead Page: Mac and Sam
BOB WELCH, 65
Guitarist, vocalist and songwriter for Fleetwood Mac 1971-1974, died June 7th. Helped move the group toward a more successful pop sound and a big part of the Bare Trees album.
I especially liked his two solo songs "Sentimental Lady" and "Ebony Eyes."
FRANK CADY, 96
Died June 8th. You've got to love his recurring roles as Sam Drucker, the straight-man shopkeeper on "Petticiat Junction" (139 episodes) and "Green Acres" (145 episodes). He was also on ten episodes of "The Beverly Hillbillies" and even twice as a town drunk on "The Andy Griffith Show." Must have been Otis' pal.
Mr, Cady was in the Army Air Corps serving in Europe during World War II.

Dead Page: Funk-- Deep-- Queen
While looking through the Yahoo! obituaries, I came across the names of two people I'd never heard of before, but whose music I greatly enjoyed. Also, there was a woman who was called the Queen of Country Music that I had heard of, but for only one song, but, what a song that was.
What they had in common was that all died July 16th.
BOB BABBITT, 74
Was a studio musician for Motown and a member of the Funk Brothers who backed up so many of those great Motown singers and groups. Some of the 200 Top 40 songs he played on were the Temptations' "Ball of Confusion," Marvin Gaye's "Mercy, Mercy Me (Ecology Song)," Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," Smokey Robinson's "Tears of a Clown" and Edwin Starr's "War."
If there is a bigger Motown fan than me, I'd like to know.
JON LORD, 71
British keyboardist and member of Deep Purple and later, Whitesnake. Co-wrote one of my favorite songs ever, "Smoke on the Water."
I am still a big Deep Purple fan and liked some of Whitesnake's songs.
KITTY WELLS, 92
Called the Queen of Country Music after she became the first female to have a #1 song on the Country charts, "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels." Inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1976. Her most success was in the 1950s.
This was the only song of hers I am familiar with, but what a song!!
Gone, But Not Forgotten.
