I opened this year's tribute video with one of Hunter's most well-known and memorable collaborations with Jerry Garcia, "Ripple," followed by one of my favorite song by classic 60's baroque pop group The Left Banke, "Barterers And Their Wives," to represent the group's recently passed lead singer, Steve Martin Caro. Partly because of that, this video is definitely longer than some of my previous video posts, however there were just so many music industry members who I felt need to be paid respectable tribute. Personally, while I know the Grammy In Memoriam segment for the awards telecast obviously can't include everyone in music who passed since the previous ceremony, I truly feel that some shown here should have med the final cut for the tube, like Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter, Little Feat guitarist Paul Barrere, and original Big Bird and Oscar The Grouch performer Caroll Spinney. It has been my pleasure and honor to pay tribute for the fifth year in a row to important contributors in the wide world of music who left us this past year but whose legacies will undoubtedly live on. Salutations blog readers and fellow music lovers and happy belated new year and decade!
