Four Walls&#39;s Discussions

One thing is for certain: the music list is all over the place! As I salute the losses from the world of music from 2025 you’ll see country, rock, pop, heavy metal, folk…and tejano! Today I celebrate one of the greatest tejano...

Remembering 2025’s Music Losses: Flaco Jiménez

Four Walls @FourWalls (81666) • United States 7 Jan

Huh? Hillbilly’s a soap fan? Yeah, I know. This was a time that everybody was caught up in the love story, and that included me. Today I salute one of the principal characters in what may be the most memorable...

Remembering 2025’s Losses: Neil Frank

Four Walls @FourWalls (81666) • United States 6 Jan

Ah, now you’re shaking your head BIG TIME. And, no doubt, you’re mumbling, “Oh, this is what we get instead of Val Kilmer???” Yeah. At least you expect it out of me. Let me explain, and you’ll understand why...

Remembering 2025’s Music Losses: Bobby Hart

Four Walls @FourWalls (81666) • United States 6 Jan

After a one-day reprieve of not having to explain the subject of the discussion, I’m back to normal. At least the music side today is easily explained. Here’s another musician who sang his last song last...

Not to be confused with Pope Francis, the other entry today, we turn to music and look at another person who gave us songs to remember. For the first time this month it’s someone I don’t have to “explain” (as...

Remembering 2025’s Music Losses: Connie Francis

Four Walls @FourWalls (81666) • United States 5 Jan

This is an interesting, and completely unplanned, thing. Both people today that I’ll remember in looking back at 2025 have the name Francis. Can’t make that up! Here’s one of the biggest losses of last...

Remembering 2025’s Losses: George Foreman

Four Walls @FourWalls (81666) • United States 4 Jan

Along with the annual salute to the music greats (and unknowns) that passed away in the previous year, I’m also saluting the people from other walks of life. Some you know well; others you’ve never heard of. That’s the purpose...

Remembering 2025’s Music Losses: Carl Dean

Four Walls @FourWalls (81666) • United States 4 Jan

Yes, this will be a controversial pick…only in that you’d probably think it should be in the “others” list instead of the music list. However, if it wasn’t for music none of us would have known this man. Here’s today’s...

What a start to the new year! This evening I changed the bedsheets (didn’t need my asthma medication afterwards, either! ) and did a load of laundry. A little cleaning, too. See the pretty, colorful blanket? That...

Remembering 2025’s Music Losses: Rick Davies

Four Walls @FourWalls (81666) • United States 3 Jan

One day the sun will shine again here! Not today, though. With the new day comes a new person on the list of music losses from last year, and yet another one whose name you don’t know, but music you do....

This is how you tell my age. I hate to break the news to you, but this month, on my list, you will not see a tribute to Val Kilmer, who passed away last year. That’s no knock on him or his talent, but I just can’t articulate...

Remembering 2025’s Losses: Gary Burbank

Four Walls @FourWalls (81666) • United States 2 Jan

Being so wrapped up in music I’ve paid tribute to the greats and barely-known artists who’ve passed away since I’ve been here (eleven years now!). Last year I decided to look at other walks of life and salute them as well. And,...

Remembering 2025’s Music Losses: Clem Burke

Four Walls @FourWalls (81666) • United States 2 Jan

Today it’s music first as I alternate between the list of people I’m paying tribute to this month. Most of these acts didn’t get headline news, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t important. Today’s musician was a Rock and Roll...

The music side of the remembrance of the losses of 2025 begins with someone you’ve probably never heard of…unless you read liner notes. His contributions to music, however, cannot be understated. We began our annual tribute to...

Happy new year, everyone! I hope your year is off to a calm and peaceful start. I was surprised that the fireworks weren’t going on and on and on the way they did last year…not that I’m complaining!! To kick off 2026, I’m...

Happy new year everyone! As usual, I’ll start off the month of January by looking back at my personal picks to remember the music people we lost in 2025. As always, we lost a lot of major talent…and some people you’ve probably...

Happy New Year’s Eve eve! The time is winding down for this month, this year, and this countdown. I have to give a big shout-out to Linda for suggesting songs with “boogie” in the title, although I’m pretty sure this isn’t what...
