Les McKeown, 65.

At the other end of the scale from Meatloaf, but well remembered from my youth.

Tony Markellis, bass player for loads of people on over a hundred albums and tours, most notably for me with the Trey Anastasio Band. Rather like Robert Fripp, he chose to sit down to play his instrument.

Olympia Dukakis, age 89, American Actress.

Before you continue fouling this solemn thread with more political quackery: It was George Bush Sr. not Ronald Reagan.
