Talk:Bernie Krause

message: My opinion is Yes, but i haven't studied our record on promptly reflecting deaths. Here's what i do know:
* He is now 79 y.o.
* On Sept. 14, 2016 a reliable-sounding source wrote about him in present tense; from then
* until a January 8, 2017 scheduled closing, an institution had scheduled an event that at least revolved around his work (tho not clear whether his involvement was to include his daily or weekly live presence). They're closed for renovations since that date, with, at this moment, next exhibit scheduled to open
* on April 20, 2017; so there may be an especially low likelihood of noting, before they reopen, a death that occurs in that period. 
On the bright side, it's hard to imagine they wouldn't have commented on his death occurring 
* before Jan. 8 (or perhaps even on that day); and i'd also guess his odds of living another year or more are good, if he was vigorous enuf that they intended for him to be present weekly or daily during the show. 
   A better reason to believe he continues to fl. is that he's been given good ink by the NYT (in the context of the show opening, and again Jan. 4 & 5 for his Web site and newly reviewed book):  i'd anticipate they will manage to publish an obit promptly when he does die.

Talk:Bessie Brown

message: There were two singers called Bessie Brown.  According to Eagle and LeBlanc in Blues: A Regional Experience, and also The Blues Encyclopedia, they were:
*  Bessie Brown, born in Texas, c.1895, married George W. Williams, died in Cincinnati, Ohio, 1964 - toured with TOBA, recorded 1923-26 for Columbia, including duets with Williams, retired from performing 1932.
* "The Original Bessie Brown", born in Ohio, c.1895, died in New York, 1955 - recorded in Cleveland 1925-29, on Perfect, Vocalion and Brunswick labels, used pseudonyms Caroline Lea and Sadie Green.
Of course, these sources may be confused - if so, they are confused in a different way to this article.  If these sources are not confused, then the article may be.  Or, I am.  Any suggestions?   Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:58, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

message: This article needs updating. Bill has been mysteriously absent from Tre's airwaves since November 2021. I say "mysteriously" because all my approaches to the station to find out what is happening and whether Bill will be returning have met with ZERO response. Further there doesn't appear to be anything at all on the Internet. A terse Twitter entry on Google states Bill as saying "the worst Christmas of my life" but beyond all that I have found out nothing. Bill Padley was a great presenter, I liked him anyway, and it would be nice and civilised to know what is going on by means of an update or at least a civilised reply from the radio station he worked on and to which I am a fairly loyal listener. I thought the researchers and folk at Wikipedia might hold the keys to this mystery. 2A02:C7E:1C6E:B400:9F8:D925:9DF0:DCAF (talk) 10:15, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

message: The death date given in the header and the infobox ("1972") does not agree with the death date provided in the article. I am making the change and appending a new citation from the New York Times that agrees with the already cited Los Angeles Times piece that Williams died in 1984, not 1972. The NYT article also states that Williams was buried in St. Charles Cemetary on Long Island whereas the Wiki cites a different source that places his burial in Chicago. The truth on that is harder to divine, especially with a subject that has such a common name as "Billy Williams." So I am leaving that in, for now.Pinikadia 15:53, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Billy Yule

message: The article perpetuates the myth that the first set from Bridgid Polk's Max's Kansas City tapes are made up from two dates, July 26 and August 23, 1970.  There has been a lot of debate over this, ever since 1970, but the fact of the matter is that The Velvet Underground did not play Max's on July 26.  July 26, 1970, was a Monday, and the Velvets did not play on Mondays and Tuesdays during their long stretch at Max's that summer.  Bridgid mislabeled a tape when she went to Max's with Andy Warhol and Bill Feldman on Monday, July 26, as featuring The Velvet Underground.  Perhaps she expected the band to be there.  She definitely went with her tape recorder (she was recording nearly everything in her life at the time, but the Velvets did not play Max's that night, as it was one of their nights off.  As I said, there's been a lot of debate about whether both sets on the Max's tapes that made up the live album were from August 23, but all the research that's been put in over the past 40 years points to the fact that, yes, both sets were from August 23.  I could go into the reasons why, but that really shouldn't be the point of a Billy Yule article!  I suggest the references to the Max's recording dates just be taken out of this article, or made more less specific (i.e., just say they came from summer 1970 performances). --Leamanc (talk) 04:32, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Also, Ma Tau Wai indigenous village is not existed anymore and the current Ma Tau Wai Estate is not the original location of Ma Tau Wai the indigenous village.

thread_title: Vanity/autobiographical article

message: When User:CultureDrone extensively re-worked this article, he or she used the expression "English-speech vocal actor". Today I changed this to the more standard description "English-language voice actor" .  My edit was reverted by User:Morning277 using Huggle, with no explanation.
Using Google as a rough guide, I've determined that "English-language" "voice actor" gets over 22,000 hits, while "English-language" "vocal artist" gets 46.  This is a clear indication that this odd expression, which is not used on any other article on Wikipedia , is not as fitting as "English-language voice actor", so I've reverted Morning277's revert.
I suggest that if Morning277 thinks the original expression is better, he or she present their arguments here, and not revert again until there is some consensus for the change from a standard description to a non-standard one. Beyond My Ken (talk) 07:11, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

When he was just starting out he mixed the Rolling Stones "Miss You" 12".  30 years later Bob is still working with The Rolling Stones!  People wait in line for the privilege of working with him.
Bob is considered by many of his contemporaries to have invented a new style of mixing which people have been copying for decades.  To have one of the two paragraphs about Bob be about one complaint from one grumpy client out of the thousands of grateful clients is simply beyond the pale.
