Such awful news.
He joined us for the Toast one year….at home I have a picture of his disgusted face as he tried one of the offerings.

What a terrible shock, far too young.
My thoughts are with his family and friends.
Such a tragic loss.

Really sorry to hear about Paul. We never met, but he was generous enough to play on our record, arrange an entire horn section part on a laptop in a moving car and then get his colleagues to remotely record it. A lovely man by all accounts and my heart goes out to our mutual friends, who will miss him terribly.

Incredibly sad news. Such a talented musician, and all-round nice guy from all I saw of him and have heard about him.

Very sad to hear this. Just brings home the fragility of life. RIP Paul. You have left behind a fantastic musical legacy.

Just a few days ago we saw Paul with Faustus at Swanage folk festival. A brilliant musician but also a wonderful sense of humour. Such a sudden and sad loss. https://www.facebook.com/goodhonestmusic |

https://tradfolk.co/music/writing-music/paul-sartin-in-memoriam/A wonderful piece by Jon Wilks on Paul Sartin, likely to bring a lump to your throat. Tragedy is an overused word but it certainly applies here. He will be sadly missed. It was a dreadful day yesterday - Eddie Butler was an old friend from my College days. Another taken too soon

Likewise. This is such sad news. Paul was a wonderful person. Always friendly, and such a good musician and music fan. He seemed driven purely by the chance to make music with others. Dammit, this is quite a blow. |

If I might? Paul was a very good friend of some very good friends, and when we we were recording some stuff he generously agreed to play a few bits for us as a favour. One of the things he did was to come up with a “New York vibe” and then play fiddle on a song of our making. https://songsfromthebluehouse.bandcamp.com/track/rolling-tumbling |

From the tradfolk website -
On September 18th, aware that rumours had begun to spread on the internet, the family released the following statement regarding the cause of Paul Sartin’s death:
“We know that many people are concerned about how Paul passed away, and that there has been a lot of speculation and rumour. Although we will not receive the results of the autopsy for a little while, we can confirm that he collapsed suddenly on the evening of September 14th, shortly before taking the stage at a concert in Oxford. He was with his dear friend and bandmate, Saul Rose.”

"Little John" Hartman, original drummer of the Doobie Brothers, aged 72.
Little John played on all of their albums from their 1971 debut through Minute By Minute, quitting or being fired from the band in 1979. He rejoined for a 1987 reunion tour, and stayed through two more albums (Cycles and Brotherhood) before ending his music career permanently in 1992.
Being a student of the band, I'm aware of much trivia regarding Little John. I know they added Mike Hossack as second drummer in 1971 because Little John had a tendency to start too fast, and then speed up. Producer Ted Templeman, himself a drummer, was a perfectionist and could not tolerate this. Hossack kept time in the studio through 1974's What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits, after which Keith Knudsen was brought in to do the same. Little John apparently contributed relatively little to the records, playing on only one or two songs per album. He played the second trap set on the epic "Without You," "Road Angel," and "Wheels of Fortune" (with visitor Richie Hayward from Little Feat keeping time). When they recorded Cycles in 1989, with Hossack back, Hartman candidly admitted to Modern Drummer that he only did "some cymbal work" on the album.
Hartman's primary contributions were to their live performances. He played percussion, dual drummed with Hossack/Knudsen imposing discipline, and played a flaming gong during the show's climax. Bassist Tiran Porter once remarked how much he enjoyed standing between Hartman and Hossack, before their kits were placed on risers, and locking in with their funky rhythms. (He said Hossack played slightly behind the beat while Hartman played on the beat, which sometimes got a bit hairy.)
I was pleased to see him in all his glory in 1987, 1989, and finally in 1991. I always hoped he would find a way to return, especially after Knudsen and Hossack passed away. R.I.P. to a great drummer and personality.

Anton Fier, aged just 66. I knew him mainly from The Feelies' debut album and his subsequent band The Golden Palominos, but he also played with a countless number of artists incuding Mick Jagger, Yoko Ono, Bob Mould, Pere Ubu, Gil Scott-Heron, Herbie Hancock, Laurie Anderson and many others. Fantastic drummer, gone way too soon.

81. I thought he was older. His album with Floating Points from last year is a thing of beauty and The Creator Has A Masterplan is of course a masterpiece. RIP Pharaoh. |

Here's a pic of the young man with Marshall Allen who's now pushing 98 and a half....and still going strong. Been playing that Floating Points album...enjoyed it when it came out but then promptly forgot about it (like so much recent music)... |

Very sad. We saw the Coal Miner's Daughter one time, October 18, 2015, at the Moody Theater at ACL Live. At the time, I was convinced it would be my only opportunity to see her perform (and I was right). She was quite charming and personable, remembered the words to all the songs (if you've seen the film, you know why I was surprised), and though weak in body strong in voice. At the time, I was irritated that she only half-filled the space. I've complained about this many times before; among others, Austin didn't turn out in large numbers for The Who, Roxy Music, Chrissie Hynde, Diana Ross, or Aretha Franklin. They don't live forever, people. |
