The loss of Toots Hibbert is the one that really gets me…

I wonder how many deaths were from covid? I think I see three..

Adam Schlesinger - Radiation Vibe (although very hard to narrow down a top choice)

hutch and I were ready to protest in the streets over this one..

and i keep listening to Bandcamp tribute for him all the time

ack- Adam Schlesinger was supposed to be on there…

Man, the music industry was devastated this year
