The August 29th Chicago Tribune listed three obituaries of particular interest to me.
KENNY EDWARDS (1946-August 18, 2010) Member of Stone Poneys and worked with Linda Ronstadt and Warren Zevon. I was a fan of the Stone Poneys and especially that singer, Linda Ronstadt. Their biggest hit was "Different Drum" which hit #13 and was written by Mike Nesmith before he joined the Monkees.
EDWARD KEAN, 85 August 13th-- The original head writer of "The Howdy Doody Show" the famous NBC children's show that I used to watch regularly. He also wrote the songs and created characters.
GEORGE DAVID WEISS, 89 August 23rd-- Prolific songwriter from 40s to 60s. Wrote "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong and "Can't Help Falling in Love" a big hit for Elvis Presley.
