A Tough Year For Musicians

   2016 really has been a terrible year for deaths in the entertainment industry, specifically musicians. It's only April 22nd, and we've lost (to the best of my knowledge) 29, with Prince the latest on the casualty list.
   I don't know if the Grim Reaper is putting together a band, but he's got a helluva lot of talent. Prince is just the latest on the list which includes Lemmy Kilmister (who actually died December 28th, 2015), David Bowie, Glenn Fry, Dale Griffin, Paul Kantner, Signe Anderson, Maurice White, Sonny James, Merle Haggard, Keith Emmerson and Frank Sinatra Jr.  And he's got a great producer for any all-star album in Sir George Martin. And that's just 13 on the list of 29.
   We've also lost some acting greats: Alan Rickman and Abe Vigoda just to name 2, along with former WWE female wrestling champion turned adult film star Joanie Laurer, better known as Chyna.
   So, 2016 has been a bad year so far, and there are still 7 months to go. Hopefully, we won't loose too many more talented people.
