October 4, 2007: Again some sad news. Frank Lucchesi passed away on Saturday morning. Frank served the musicians of the Pioneer Valley as a master luthier. He was the owner of Lucchesi Vintage Instruments in Easthampton. He has worked on many Rikk's basses dating back to his days at Pizzitola Music in Holyoke. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all his family and friends. You can read more at http://blog.masslive.com/localbuzz/2007/10/frank_luchessi.html
August 5, 2007: Too Youg To Die: 1914, 1917, 1942, 1950, 1964. These are some of the birth years in today's obits. You could say that someone born in 1914 or 1917 lived a long life if they were to die in 2007. But we'd have to agree that 1964 is way too young. Jeff Zomek, founder of Contenental Cablevision's Studio C died Thursday at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, MA. Donut Kings apeared twice in that show in the 1990's. Our condolances go out to Jeff's family and friends. You might remember last year around the very same time we lost Karen Kelly.
