Hard to believe he was 78 already.

I really don’t understand how all of these other people are getting so old.

I saw ASU’s team play at Omaha with Bando at 3B, Monday in CF, and Reggie Jackson on the freshman team not yet eligible for the varsity.

Thank goodness we did not play them.

I remembered that it was in Temple, and I also remember that you said that he didn’t refer to the Byrds at all.

I think we discussed that Sweethearts of the Rodeo tour when it happened. Marty played Clarence White’s original b-bender, and just getting to see that guitar in action is worth the price of admission as far as I’m concerned. A friend of mine saw the show in Austin if I’m not mistaken. I couldn’t make it up for those shows at the time, but now that I’m radicated in the US and A, if they ever take a notion to do that again you can betcher ass that I’ll make at least one of the shows or my name ain’t Nathan Arizona.

Duffy Dyer another future MLBer on that '65 Sun Devil championship squad.

They were scary good.

Amazing they all ended up initially in Oakland. As an aside, I loved to watch Catfish Hunter pitch.
Great pitch command.

Hakeem turned 60 today.

Fuck cancer- here he is less than 8 years ago, looking better than I did 28 years ago …:

Former child/teenage actor Lance Kerwin, 62

Lance Kerwin, Star of James at 16 and Salem’s Lot , Dead at 62: ā€˜He Loved Each and Every One of You’ (yahoo.com)

ā€œHe loved each and every one of you.ā€

What a wonderful statement.

The mortality rate among child stars seems to be right up there close to that of rock stars and pro wrestlers.

It’s 100%.

He paid taxes too

Possibly. Kerwin got in trouble a few years ago for failing to provide complete information in applying for government assistance. He’s had his troubles.

On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
