Wonder what Hal Price was doing in Reykjavik,??
RIP Hal..
we were just reading that he has passed.
What a long life, and what a legacy.

Damien Lovelock, of Celibate Rifles, aged 65 years. A sad loss of talent.

I mean, of course it's true. But, again, a talent that seemed timeless.
I'd recently read that she was frail (I can't think where the interview was). I'll try to find the link to post here, there were some instructive reflections.
May her memory bring blessing.
