EW ORLEANS (AP) — Clarence “Frogman” Henry, who was one
of New Orleans’ best known old-time R&B singers and scored a

George Harrison (25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001)
Musician, singer and songwriter George Harrison achieved
international fame as the lead guitarist of the Beatles, an
English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960, comprising
John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo
Starr. They are regarded as the most influential band of all
time.


Paul McCartney’s original bass guitar, which the legendary musician used in The Beatles’ early years, has been found
and returned after it was stolen more than five decades
ago (1972).
The 81-year-old singer-songwriter was reunited with the
left-handed Höfner 500/1 Violin Bass after its manufacturer
and a husband-and-wife team of journalists embarked on
a search for the missing instrument in 2018 that later
became a crowdsourcing campaign called The Lost
Bass Project.
A statement shared Wednesday on McCartney’s website confirmed that the guitar had been discovered and was
returned to its original owner.

Singer, songwriter, musician, and actor.Waylon Jennings is
considered one of the pioneers of the outlaw movement in
country music.
Jennings started playing guitar at age eight and performed
at fourteen on KVOW radio, after which he formed his first
band, the Texas Longhorns. Jennings left high school at age
sixteen, determined to become a musician, and worked as a
performer and DJ on KVOW, KDAV, KYTI, KLLL, in Coolidge,
Arizona, and Phoenix. In 1958, Buddy Holly arranged Jennings’
first recording session, a cover of Jole Blon, and hired him to
play bass. Jennings gave up his seat on the ill-fated flight in
1959 that crashed and killed Holly, J. P. "the Big Bopper"
Richardson and Ritchie Valens.
Jennings died in his sleep from complications of diabetes at
his home in Chandler, Arizona, aged 64.
