Sad news that Joe Fagin has passed away.  He sang the theme songs and soundtrack for Auf Weidersehen Pet, my favourite ever tv series. 

That's sad.  Weirdly just started rewatching AWP the other day as was one my favourites too.

Here's another one I've never heard of

Runrig singer Bruce Guthro dies aged 62

Runrig were/are massive in Scotland and Europe. He took over as lead singer when Donnie Munro left.  

There was a good documentary about them on Sky Arts.

Roger Whittaker has died, left old Durham Town for the last time. that man could whistle. 

Awww, this one is sad. When I was a kid we had this random World Of Roger Whittaker tape I used to play constantly to the annoyance of my parents. Puff the Magic Dragon, Milk Bottle Tops, some song about a nasty spider... I sitll randomly find myself singing about the Big Rock Candy Mountain on occasion.

Tunes that used to be favourites on junior choice, Saturday morning radio!  Puff was made famous by Peter, Paul and Mary.

A dragon lives forever,

but not so little boys,

painted things and giant rings make way for other toys.

One grey it night happened,

Jackie Paper came no more,

and Puff that mighty Dragon,

he ceased his fearless roar.

I remember singing very different lyrics to Puff the Magic Dragon when I was a kid. Sadly would no longer be considered acceptable.
