Cannot think her without thinking of her "Dance party."

Leon Russell died in his sleep.

He was so much more than most people think. He was the piano on so many top hits.



Can't find a decent recording, but my favorite from the Concert for Bangladesh

Mrs. Brady

Florence Henderson, Upbeat Mom of ‘The Brady Bunch,’ Dies at 82

Ms. Henderson was asked in a 1999 Archive of American Television interview how she would like to be remembered. She answered, “Probably as someone who survived for a long time in a very tough business and, hopefully, managed to retain a sense of humanity.”

The timing certainly sucks. I was just chatting a couple days ago with someone on Facebook who said she doesn't like Thanksgiving. When I asked why, it was because she lost her father at Thanksgiving. Will make for some bittersweet holidays to come for Florence's family.
