Nige,



Frank's already dead! so he won't be attending... in this life...



I want the Notsensibles "I thought you were dead" just in case....



Although I'm rather taken with Peter Sellers' choice of In The Mood...

Following this report today....



Mitch Mitchell, the British drummer in the seminal 1960s band the Jimi Hendrix Experience, has been found dead in his US hotel room.



I guess "Bold As Love" is appropriate
