He was my favorite part of SNL in those days, I loved his sitcom, absolutely adored his comedy, and he had perhaps the absolute best roast routine of all time in the Bob Sagat roast. I was enjoying him as Yaphet on The Orville. What a legend.

Status Quo were touring Piledriver as warm-up for Rory Gallagher about '73 or so. Great show.

Alan Lancaster the bassist for Status Quo has passed after a battle with MS. Status Quo were the first concert I ever went to MS is such a bastard. My mother has had it for 20+ years now. She sleeps most of the day and can no longer drive more than locally. I only see her twice a year now because she lives in North Carolina. My dad will occasionally visit me up in PA when I cant go down to NC to visit, but my mom can't make the ride anymore, even just as a passenger. It has stolen the vitality right out of her, and this is a woman who could singlehandedly move a heavy couch from one end of the room to the other in seconds without breaking a sweat. She used to do all sorts of big remodeling projects and some minor construction and repairs and stuff. I hate what this beast of a disease has done to her.

Edward “Skip” O’Donnell, the lead vocalist of the college band that brought Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser and Albert Bouchard together in 1966 has passed away on September 29, 2021. He’d been declining for some time.
He was as old as all Clarkson College students in the class of ’69, same age as me and Albert. Skip was a strong vocalist and front man for the band, “The Travesty” that started us both on our journey to becoming BOC. Other members were Bruce Abbot (bass and keys) and Jeff Latham (guitar and keys.)
Skip finished a four year degree at Clarkson, afaik, unlike any of the rest or us, and landed a job with General Electric Company that lasted in various inclinations and relocations until his retirement. He’d decided early unlike me and Albert that professional music was not the best career path.
I’d seen Skip twice over the time BOC had hit it big enough to tour where everybody I’d know was. Once early on, when he was still married to his first wife, and decades later, when I’d seen him and his gracious grown daughter in Nashville.
I wonder if there’s any undiscovered audio of “The Travesty,” it would be great if Skip’s contribution to BOC’s history could be documented with sound.
Skip was a strong performer, a great fellow, and a great friend I guess he was raised right. : )
…Even as he told a story of his dad ripping his copy of this Frank Zappa record off the turntable when it played the song, “Brown Shoes.. Don’t make it.”
Feeling personally nostalgic about this closing chord entry. Bye Skip. DFTR. You’ll be remembered.
