RIP

Rest in Peace my beautiful Dax.



She was sadly killed in the early hours of this morning, hit by a car.
She was the most aware cat I ever knew, curious, inventive, and could always read my mood perfectly. I miss her far more than I thought possible.
She was there sitting on the wall by the door for me almost everyday when I came home from work,



it won't be the same again ever. More than a cat she was my friend, and I mourn her as a friend. Goodnight for the last time little Dax.

Oh fooking hell !!!! that is so heart breaking !!!! My heart goes out to you Petty !! Im so sorry Beautiful little Dax The pain is horrific when you lose a loved & precious sweetheart Im sending you my love for the grief you are feeling

Aw. Life is senseless.

Darnit no! I'm sorry Petty. 

A painful loss... sorry Petty.

I'm so sorry Petty. I recall you mentioning Dax before and she's always looked and sounded like a great cat.

Thanks for your thoughts folks, its appreciated. I miss her a lot.

So sorry to hear of your loss Petty, loosing a pet is never easy, especially under such horrible circumstances

Poor little Dax... So sorry for your loss, Petty.

Sorry to hear about Dax, Petty. Cats are usually better friends than people.

Also sad about Gene too.

Sad news. Great Mozart interpreter and conductor. Immense loss for the music world.

Sir Neville is gone.

I cherish him for founding the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, the premier Baroque chamber group. You haven't heard Vivaldi until you've heard the Academy play him.

so sorry I am so late to say how sorry I am about your Dax Petty. I didn't look at the thread. its always full of sad news. my heart goes out to you.

92 is a good age & I agree a sad loss but, not so sad because he gave so much. Its one of the very few things about this country (UK) that I'm pigeon chested about. We seem to have an abundance of great music. "Last Night of The Proms" is the one place Id love to be. The Albert Hall must feel as tho its lifting off when that gets going.

{{{Thanks Figg- still miss her a great deal}}}

Rest in peace Leonard Cohen. One of the Greats!

One of a pair with Bob Dylan - artists who write great songs but can't sing worth shit.

But his rendition of Hallelujah was mesmerizing; Music Noir. Great band.

"Mesmerizing" is a word that's often been used to describe Leonard. One of the most amazing bits of concert footage ever filmed is from the Isle of Wight concert when the crowd of over half a million people were on the edge of rioting, having burned the stage on Hendrix and others, and then Leonard took the stage and started talking. He spoke to half a million rioters as if each one was a personal friend, asking each one to light a match so he could see where they were, and slowly he brought them all under his spell. You can feel them change from a mob to individuals before your eyes. Amazing. If it wasn't on film I wouldn't believe it. I'll miss Leonard!

Robert Vaughn has gone also, I liked his drawn out "matter of fact" accent. Sad Christmas this year for quite a few families me thinks

Robert Vaughn. The last of the Magnificent Seven is gone.

Cohen can't (or couldn't, sadly) sing? Strongly disagree with you there. Now, I'm a huge Dylan fan as well, but I can understand why people would say he can't sing (and especially in his older day, when his singing more resembles talking), but Cohen?
