    RIP - I didn't know this about him:

    Music his second career

    Although he began singing at age four, harmonizing with his brothers and performing solo at local events in his hometown, Milwaukee, Wis., music wasn't always Jarreau's focus.


    He was an athlete who earned a masters in vocational rehabilitation and started his career as a counsellor in San Francisco, playing jazz on the side. Jarreau didn't record his first album until he was 35.


    "His second priority in life was music. There was no third," read the statement on Jarreau's website. "His first priority, far ahead of the other, was healing or comforting anyone in need."


    Jarreau is survived by his wife, Susan, and a son, Ryan.

    Warren Frost, Character Actor Known for ‘Twin Peaks’ and ‘Seinfeld,’ Dies at 91



    Warren Frost, the character actor best known for his role as Dr. Will Hayward on “Twin Peaks,” died Friday after a long illness at his home in Middlebury, Vt. He was 91.


    Frost had recently come out of retirement to reprise his “Twin Peaks” role for the sequel to the ABC series that is set to debut on Showtime in May. Frost was the father of Mark Frost, the co-creator with filmmaker David Lynch of the revered mystery-fantasy franchise.


    Warren Frost had a long career before and after the original “Twin Peaks.” He logged a memorable guest role on “Seinfeld,” playing the father of George Constanza’s fiancee in five episodes. He also limned a recurring character on the Andy Griffith legal drama “Matlock” and had guest shots on series including “The Larry Sanders Show,” “L.A. Law” and “Murphy Brown.”

    many more credits

    Legendary Musician, Rock and Roll Pioneer Chuck Berry Dies at 90


    CHUCK BERRY, the singer, songwriter and guitar great who practically defined rock music with his impeccably twangy hits “Maybellene,” “Roll Over Beethoven,” “Memphis,” “My Ding-a-Ling” and “Sweet Little Sixteen,” has died. He was 90.

    The singer/songwriter, whose classic “Johnny B. Goode” was chosen by Carl Sagan to be included on the golden record of Earth Sounds and Music launched with Voyager in 1977, died Saturday afternoon. The cause of death was not revealed.
    During his 60-plus years in show business, Berry in 1986 became one of the first inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He entered The Blues Foundation’s Blues Hall of Fame in ’85 and that year also received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

    Interesting bit of info
    https://qz.com/936401/chuck-berry-dies-at-90-but-his-hit-johnny-b-goode-lives-on-in-space/
    His hit “Johnny B. Goode” is one of the 27 songs that was sent into space on the “
    Golden Record,” a collection of music, sound recordings, photographs, and other Earth relics attached to the Voyager 1 spacecraft. Launched in 1977 to explore the depths of the outer solar system and beyond, the Voyager 1 became the first human-made object to reach interstellar space in 2012, meaning it is now floating around beyond our known solar system.
    R.I.P.
