“We all know that Kenny is in a better place than we are today, but I’m sure he’s going to be talking to God sometime today. He’s going to be asking Him to spread some light on the darkness that’s going on here. I loved Kenny with all my heart. My heart is broken, a big old chunk of it has gone with him today,” she said, holding a photo of her and Rogers.

You never know how much you love somebody until they’re gone. I’ve had so many wonderful years and wonderful times with my friend Kenny, but above all the music and the success I loved him as a wonderful man and a true friend. pic.twitter.com/hIQLIvt8pr

Thank you.

You can’t make old friends - Kenny & Dolly. All the more of a touching song now, in which they sing about one of them dying.

Uderzo was the illustrator and later writer of the Asterix the Gaul comic books. I loved the books when I was younger. Er, and I still love them today.

Ellis Marsalis, 85, dies in New Orleans of nCoV
Patriarch of the Marsalis family, his legacy includes 6 sons, 4 of which went into playing jazz. Branford (sax) and Wynton (trumpet) were the more famous of the bunch, and Ellis was himself a jazz pianist of no weak repute. Another NEA Jazz Master, he was also a well-known award-winning music educator. Another sad day for the world of jazz.
