I just learned about the "27 club"; musicians that all died while at the peak of their career at 27 years old. It's actually quite interesting when you look at all of the conspiracy theories surrounding it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Casey Affleck, swamp pop singer Rod Bernard, Sid Bernstein, Joe Besser, Cantinflas, John Cazale, Kid Creole, Del The Funky Homosapien,  Cecil B. DeMille, Leslie Duncan, George Hamilton, Roy Hay, Heintje, Mark Knopfler, Greg Langston (The Next, No Alternative), Ron Mael, Tiny McCloud, Pat Metheny, Sir Mix-a-Lot, Alexei Nikolaevich, Peter Ostroushko, Buck Owens, Marjorie Reynolds, Erwin Alexander Schrödinger, Lakeith Stanfield, Matt Thiessen (Reliant K), Stefanos Tsitsipas, Mladen Vukic, Porter Wagoner, Deborah Walley, Wednesday 13, Jane Wyatt, and recording artist, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Derrek Van Eaton. Classic rock-philes and deep Beatles fans will recognize him from the brother band Lon & Derrek Van Eaton. John Lennon and George Harrison “discovered” them and signed them to Apple Records. Their excellent BROTHER album was co-produced by George with Klaus Voorman and launched a long association with George, Ringo Starr, Nilsson, and other legends in the Apple story. The brothers went on to become studio session favorites under producer Richard Perry, who hired them for recordings with Art Garfunkel, Martha Reeves, and Carly Simon. As a duo, the Van Eaton brothers have released sporadic works (notably their acclaimed 1996 cover of “Apple of my Eye” on the COME & GET IT Badfinger tribute album), and they’re still active in musical and spiritual pursuits. I met Derrek some years ago in church and picked his brains about a 1972 L&DVE concert Huntingdon PA that I stood outside at (I was but a lad with no ticket money). The last time Derrek and I crossed paths was at a Monkees concert in Denver. Even in passing conversation I can see the creative spark in Derrek’s eyes. Here’s one of my favorite Van Eaton cuts “Sun Song” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5VSJmb2VI0 ...Meanwhile, HB DVE and thank you for your years of remarkable creativity and soul.

Music & Book Reviews: Wonder Women of Country, plus Thee Sinseers, Matt Blake, Pete Ham, and Eddie Hinton This column rarely covers EPs—the unending flood of full-length CDs is more than enough to keep a critic busy—but a six-song set called Wonder Women of Country: Willis, Carper, Leigh is too good to ignore. The Texas-based trio consists of longtime alt-country artist Kelly Willis; Melissa…
