rhythmaningA fair number of people seem to have died over the holiday period. I knew about Harold Pinter.
Yesterday, I learnt that Helen Suzman, a South African politician who fought apartheid for many years, died on New Years Day. Radio4's obituary programme Last Word discussed her life at the start of yesterday's programme. (They also had a long piece about Pinter, by one of his school friends with whom he stayed friends his whole life.)
And, listening to Jazz Record Requests just now, I heard that trumpeterFreddie Hubbard also died last week. Damn.

Like I said - quite a few people seem to have died over the holiday.
