Rudy Van Gelder


amazing recording engineer… so much great jazz was recorded at his two recording studios.. I have hundreds of records with "van gelder" in the dead wax.. always a sign of quality sound…. most of the great Blue Note, Impulse, and Prestige sessions were recorded by him….

You knew the day was coming but still… any jazz afficionado has to be a little turned around by this news…

Mr Fuji
http://www.espn.com/wwe/story/_/id/17410861/mr-fuji-passes-away-82-wwe
As a wrestler, Fuji was a five-time WWE tag team champion between 1972 and 1982, teaming three times with Professor Tanaka and twice more with Mr. Saito. It was as a manager, however, that Fuji enjoyed his highest level of fame during the WWE's national expansion in the mid-1980s.

With a signature move of throwing salt packets to the eyes of opponents, Fuji guided some of the WWE's top heels of the era including The Magnificent Muraco, "Cowboy" Bob Orton, The Powers of Pain and Demolition.

But his managerial career would gain new life in 1992, when he ditched his traditional tuxedo look in favor of a Japanese kimono to begin a memorable four-year run beside two-time WWE world champion Yokozuna.

Fuji's greatest addition to the WWE's pop culture lexicon may have come in 1985, when he teamed with Muraco to film a series of vignettes named "Fuji Vice," designed to mock the popular television drama series "Miami Vice." The segments were a regular part of then WWF's weekly "Tuesday Night Titans" variety show, which featured interviews, skits and replays of previously taped matches.

I wonder what it's like to be an author, such as say, Roald Dahl, and have some of your best work be attributed to the actor who said the brilliant line?
