Actor Mitchell Ryan, 88.

Many notable credits including Clint Eastwood films, Dharma and Greg, All My Children. Was outstanding playing "Burke Devlin" in the early (b&w) episodes of Dark Shadows.

What!? Don't believe he was that old. That guy was really great, always intended to try to see him live. RIP.

58. Rare blood disease. Think I will listen to this. https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=102158899

― Mardi Gras Mambo Sun (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 10 March 2022 00:35 (four years ago)

His two most recent albums were great, made with an incredible band: Bill Frisell on guitar, Jason Moran on piano, Thomas Morgan on bass, and Brian Blade on drums. He had two records before that with just Frisell and Blade that I need to check out.

He is a welcome presence in the Ginger Baker documentary.

― Mardi Gras Mambo Sun (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 10 March 2022 00:49 (four years ago)

In fact this album he made with Ginger Baker called Coward of the County seems like it might be good.

He also made a great album with Moran and Mary Halvorson, BANGS.

UK actor Ron Pember, presumably another Bosom Manor star

RIP Ron Pember, who was one of those actors who seemed to be in everything - Secret Army, Avengers, Only Fools, Rumpole, Victoria Wood, Naked Civil Servant etc, as well as having serious RSC theatre chops. pic.twitter.com/j9jFteNmXB

I was out so missed this, otherwise I would have posted it as the Bosom Manor expert.

The last time I watched Death Line I had forgotten he was in it and excitedly shouted RON PEMBER! at the screen when he came on.

― Long enough attention span for a Stephen Bissette blu-ray extra (aldo), Thursday, 10 March 2022 22:23 (four years ago)

I mean he genuinely was in everything

― politics is about vibes and the vibes are off (stevie), Thursday, 10 March 2022 22:25 (four years ago)

― mookieproof, Thursday, 10 March 2022 22:36 (four years ago)

was great in everything, RIP

― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Thursday, 10 March 2022 23:13 (four years ago)

Also notable for never having been in TV Doctor Who despite being in everything else.

― Long enough attention span for a Stephen Bissette blu-ray extra (aldo), Thursday, 10 March 2022 23:24 (four years ago)

Has he been in as much stuff as Ian Wolfe?

― Mardi Gras Mambo Sun (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 10 March 2022 23:29 (four years ago)

Half a dozen credits in it according to the numbers on IMDb.

Quite a life too!

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 11 March 2022 04:24 (four years ago)

oh no, those guys felt like family to me. It's wonderful that Sesame Street got so much, so right, right off the bat.

― assert (matttkkkk), Friday, 11 March 2022 04:32 (four years ago)

Oh no, what another sad loss -- Bobbie Nelson, Willie's sister and longtime (as in decades and decades) pianist/keyboardist.

Bobbie Nelson was one of the first women musicians that I ever saw on stage. She was the first example I had of a woman playing music while also having a family. I’m honored to have known her. My deepest sympathies to the Nelson family.

On a different note, UK music journalist Gavin Martin has passed due to a sudden heart attack on holiday. We knew each other very casually through Facebook but he always seemed a very good sort and his many friends are taking it quite hard.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 11 March 2022 06:48 (four years ago)

Rest In Peace, Luis.

(xpost) "Why Can't We Live Together" has never been a personal favourite (heard it off the car radio a few days ago), but at the same time, I recognize it as one of the stranger and most striking hits of its day.

― clemenza, Sunday, 13 March 2022 01:36 (four years ago)

Love it.

― Alfred Ndwego of Kenya (Tom D.), Sunday, 13 March 2022 10:45 (four years ago)

RIP Timmy. The groovy and sprightly “You're the Song (I've Always Wanted to Sing)” (the title track of his follow-up album) left an indelible impression on me just when I started exploring soul music away from the (Dutch) charts.

Test pilot Robert Cardenas
https://www.edwards.af.mil/News/Article/2963345/renowned-test-pilot-bob-cardenas-dies/

He's probably most famous as the pilot of the B-29 during Chuck Yeager's first flight faster than the speed of sound, but Cardenas was also the lead pilot for the Flying Wing.
