Alan White, drummer for just about everybody from the late 60s through the 70s and onwards. Instant Karma, My Sweet Lord, Yessongs ...

He joins his bandmate Chris Squire in the afterlife rhythm section.

RIP Ronnie Hawkins

Just a few weeks ago, I watched a documentary about The Band. A number of its members were previously in Ronnie's band, The Hawks, so a bit of footage from those days was shown. Ronnie was quite a showman!

And a near-miss for Eagles all-time great Peter Matera, recovering from a heart attack in Bendigo.

His age: Close but no cigar - 53. May he still reach 54 and well beyond.

It's been a bad year for Wozzie hearts.

RIP Jim Parks

Two excellent cricketers

Parks played in Holford's first Test, in England, and was I think dismissed by him in one innings.

Holford played (and as a Barbadian, hosted) Parks' last Test.

There was a great article about the joy of watching Parks' batting on Cricinfo sometime last year, I'll try to find it.

Holford was best known for being Garfield Sobers' cousin, and scoring his only Test century at Lords in a match-saving partnership with Gary in his second Test. I had always thought he had achieved that as a teenage Next Big Thing, but in fact he was already 26 years old. In Oz in 68-69, he played two Tests, his main contributions being a vital 80 in Adelaide in partnership with Jackie Hendricks for the 9th wicket, and good fielding in a surprisingly inept team.

A fine servant of the game.

A good man, I'm old enough to remember his 80 in 68-69.

One of the few Windian administrators who seems to be remembered fondly by all.

The man who talent-spotted Shiv Chanderpaul, too.

Doesn't sound good for Graham Thorpe. Still 'seriously ill in hospital', and the black armbands are out ...

I'd say they would be for Jimmy Parks
