Lee Hazlewood: The jingling of silver spurrs has subsided
The American country/pop singer, songwriter, and record producer Lee Hazlewood died on the 4th of August. He passed away in his home in Las Vegas after a long battle with renal (kidney) cancer.
He had expressed his wish to be cremated and have his ashes "strewn on a Swedish island where he composed some of his favorite songs." According to Swedish newspaper SvD this would be the island of Gotland. If his wish is fulfilled he will, by the way, be resting close to Ingmar Bergman...

PS. This record has probably never been reprinted, at least I can't find it anywhere. It isn't even on the list of his records on his own website. Let me know if you find it!
Hurry up!!! It'll only be there a couple of days!
Sivuca's website.
Buy other Sivuca records that are available!

Design: Nisse Strinning has passed away
I just heard on the radio that Swedish designer Nils Erik "Nisse" Strinning has died at the age of 88. He was, among other things, the man behind the best-selling String bookshelf.
"Certain things are so closely associated with a particular time that they become timeless. There is no better example of this than the String shelf system designed by Nisse Strinning in 1949." (from the String site)
