Graeme Edge of the Moody Blues. He was 80.

And as new life will come from death
Love will come at leisure
Love of love, love of life and giving without measure
Gives in return a wondrous yearn for promise almost seen
Live hand in hand and together we'll stand
On the threshold of a dream

My partner put Margo Guryan's Someone I Know on the first mixtape she made me, and it's still "our song". I mentioned as much in a friend's Twitter thread last year, and Margo herself liked it.

No official article I can find yet, but word from her friends that another giant of Canadian literature has left us: Phyllis Webb passed away yesterday afternoon.

It is with profound sorrow that I pass on the news that poet Phyllis Webb left us yesterday, November 11—maybe taking hold of Lee Maracle’s hand as they sped on to the stars. I have nothing but deep gratitude to have had her as a friend the past twenty years. pic.twitter.com/vIj51wc7Al

Two British character actors whose names might be less than familiar but whose faces will be instantly recognisable, Henry Woolf and Roy Holder.

Dave Hickey, art critic (Air Guitar, etc.), 82.

― ... (Eazy), Saturday, 20 November 2021 13:57 (four years ago)

I'm seeing Billy Hinsche, of Dino, Desi, and Billy has passed. A DD&B LP was my first record.

― nickn, Sunday, 21 November 2021 00:35 (four years ago)

He was a sideman with the Beach Boys road band for awhile.

Dennis Diken's liner notes (featuring extensive quotes from Hinsche) from Sundazed's DD&B comp were some of my favorite of their kind, the type you pull the album off the shelf to read and then forget to play the album.

― Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Sunday, 21 November 2021 01:24 (four years ago)

David Longdon of Big Big Train.

― aphoristical, Sunday, 21 November 2021 01:30 (four years ago)

RIP, Billy Hinsche. I knew of his Beach Boys sideman status through John Cowsill, just saw now that his sister was married to Carl Wilson.

― Sterl of the Quarter (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 21 November 2021 01:32 (four years ago)

Carl was also married to one of Dino's sisters!

You don’t happen to own this, do you?

― Sterl of the Quarter (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 21 November 2021 01:48 (four years ago)

Nah, just that Sundazed comp.

― Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Sunday, 21 November 2021 02:01 (four years ago)

That was the LP I had (no longer, of course). Is it worth a lot now?

Voiceover artist Will Ryan, 72. (I knew him best as fake 30s comic Sammy Shooster, of The Misadventures of Biffle and Shooster.)

lowtax apparently confirmed a suicide.

“I'm obviously not a visionary, but I predicted that the internet would be shitty back in 1999,” Kyanka told Motherboard in 2017. “Everybody was talking about how the internet was going to revolutionize everything and everything was going to be great, but nobody ever talked about how shitty the internet could also be.”
