They come, they leave their mark, they go, they are remembered.
Most musicians try to “stand on the shoulders of giants” by learning and studying the work of the greats. Many of my favorite musicians are still alive, but many are long gone.  Here is a list of some of those greats who we lost in 2008. RIP.

It’s been up for a little while already , but I just wanted to officially let everyone know about our new music history pages. You can look up what happened on today’s date in musical history right here: today in music history.

We’ve put up a new page entitled “Today in Music History“. It lists all the important music related events on today’s day of the year such as births, deaths, music news and events.
You can also browse through the archives if you’d like.
Today’s page is here and the archives live here.
Enjoy!
