A belated and melancholy Happy Trails today to Irish novelist Maeve Binchy, who passed away in Ireland last week at the age of 72. I confess to having never read one of Ms. Binchy's books, but she was a great favorite of Marilyn's, so I feel the need to note her passing.
And a real shocker came today with the news of the death of composer Marvin Hamlisch this day in Los Angeles at the age of 68. A multiple Oscar/Grammy/Emmy/Tony/Golden Globe winner, Hamlisch was a true giant in Hollywood and Broadway, and even here in Pittsburgh where he served as Musical Director of the Pittsburgh Symphony Pops Orchestra. Cause of death not disclosed.
RIP Maeve and Marvin.
