#1 Kevin Ayers , 1944-2013

Another sad loss, noticed a comment on one of the BBC4 music programmes last Friday about Ayers having died . I believe he left a note, so maybe not an accident . Very sad .

There was a Kevin Ayers track shown in this http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 ... _19701974/ last week. First time I've seen him in the flesh. It takes an effort to match the face to the voice.

A little subtitle says that his note read "You can't shine if you don't burn". How true....
The world looks so different after learning science. For example, trees are made of air, primarily. When they are burned, they go back to air, and in their flaming heat is released the flaming heat of the Sun which was bound in to convert air into tree.
