Joel DiGregorio, American keyboardist (The Charlie Daniels Band), died from a car crash he was 67..
William Joel “Taz” DiGregorio was a longtime member and keyboardist for the Charlie Daniels
Band. He was born and lived in Worcester, Massachusetts until 1962 when he went on the road. He was self-taught on the keyboards, practicing from tunes by Elvis Presley, Fats Domino, and Little Richard following his attendance at a Ray Charles concert.
(January 8, 1944 – October 12,
2011)
Musical career
He learned the Fats Domino song “Blue Monday”
at age sixteen. Once, he just started playing and singing the entire
song and his sister asked him “How did you do that?” and he replied “I
don’t know” and that kickstarted his career. He once played with a band
at The Golden Nugget in Worcester, Massachusetts and played with Fay Adams & The Drifters.
He fulfilled his goal of becoming a professional musician, initiating
his career with his first band, the group Paul Chaplain and his
Emeralds, best known for their minor hit “Shortnin’ Bread”
(1960). They sold about 250,000 copies of their album in 1959. He was
on the album at age seventeen and he didn’t know a lot about life and
music, but he knew 8 chords and he recorded the song, Shortnin’ Bread, and it became a hit.
By the early 1960s, the group disbanded, leaving DiGregorio to find other gigs which included playing in a lounge band in Florida.
In 1964, he was working with a band that played different types of
music. He sang and played bass pedals on the organ. There was a
saxophone player in the band named Jerry Kaskie, who was then drafted
into the military. Then, they hired a guitarist, who was also drafted.
Taz then got a job at a club called the LaFlame near the Air Force base in Orlando. Charlie Daniels
went there as the main attraction once, and his guitarist quit and he
was playing bass. They decided to have lunch together and Daniels told
Joel that if he cut his hair, he could play in his band called the
Jaguars. [1]
A few years later, DiGregorio was drafted and served with the US
Army. Upon his return home, he resumed his career with Daniels and
following some ensemble changes The Charlie Daniels Band launched what
was to become a commercially successful body of work, beginning with
their self-titled debut album in 1970. In 1979, their signature hit “The Devil Went Down To Georgia,”
which achieved a number 3 placing on the US Pop Charts, was co-written
by DiGregorio. In addition to his work with Daniels, he recorded the
solo projects Midnight in Savannah (2008) and Shake Rag (2008).
Charlie Daniels Band
The original Charlie Daniels Band was Charlie, Jerry Corbitt from the Youngbloods, Billy Cox from the Band of Gypsys,
Jeffrey Meyer, and Taz. They stayed together six months, but then it
didn’t work out. After that, it was Charlie, Taz, Jeffrey, and Earl
Grigsby. The original Charlie Daniels Band can still be heard on a bootleg album called “Corbitt and Daniels, Live from Carnegie Hall.”
Nickname
From the Charlie Daniels Band album Te John, Grease, & Wolfman,
which the name comes from the band members’ nicknames, “Te John” was
the bassist, “Wolfman” the drummer, and Joel, being that he was half Italian and half French Canadian was “Grease”. According to DiGregorio, “Charlie loves giving people nicknames,” which is “one of those Southern rock
cultural things.” Taz got his nickname from when they were on the tour
bus with their first road manager named Jesse Craig. Joel had his hair
down past his shoulders and once, his hair was sticking up and Jesse was
laughing and saying that he looked like a Tasmanian Devil. Then Charlie was joking around and called him “Taz”. The nickname “Grease” never stuck, but “Taz” did.
Death
DiGregorio was killed in a single car accident on Interstate 40 in Cheatham County, Tennessee, on October 12, 2011.[2] He was driving to meet the band’s tour bus, which was headed to a concert set for Wednesday night in Cumming, Georgia.[3] He was 67 years old.

Franz Jozef Van Beeck, Dutch author and Christian theologian, died he was 81.
Frans Jozef Van Beeck or Franz Jozef van Beeck, also known as Joep van Beeck (June 11, 1930 – October 12, 2011),[1] was a Dutch author and Christian theologian who was also a prominent priest of the Society of Jesus.[2]
Born in Helmond, Netherlands, he entered the Jesuit religious order in 1948 after studies at the Jesuit-run Aloysius College in The Hague. He received a doctorate in English from the University of Amsterdam in 1961 and was ordained to the Roman Catholic priesthood in 1963. From 1968 to 1985, Van Beeck taught theology at Boston College in Boston, Massachusetts. He then moved to Loyola University Chicago in Chicago, Illinois where he served as John Cardinal Cody Professor of Theology until his retirement in 2002. From 2006 until his death, he resided in Nijmegen, Netherlands.
Van Beeck wrote hundreds of thousands of pages of letters, treatises and books used today in Christian colleges and universities throughout the world. His most famous theological work is an ambitious series of six books called God Encountered: A Contemporary Catholic Systematic Theology (Liturgical Press).
Some of his most controversial works considered the issues arising from World War II. Critics challenged van Beeck’s attempt to define a single universal theme in the overall tragedy of the Holocaust.
They believed that such an attempt to explain the Holocaust as a
metaphor or symbol was dangerous and could lead to a minimalization of
the horrors of the mass murder.[3]
Van Beeck’s Christ Proclaimed: Christology as Rhetoric (1979)
is a significant synthesis of theological reflection in christology with
a distinctive consideration of rhetoric and the Christian proclamation.
Van Beeck’s thought about rhetoric and proclamation culminated in the
publication of the article “Divine Revelation: Intervention or Self-Communication” in Theological Studies 52 (1991): 199-226.
In 2006, Sacred Heart University Press published his Driven under the Influence: Selected Essays in Theology 1974-2004.

Jagjit Singh, Indian musician, died from brain haemorrhage he was 70.
Jagjit Singh, born Jagmohan Singh, was a prominent Indian Ghazal
singer, songwriter and musician. Known as the “Ghazal King”, he gained
acclaim together with his wife, another renowned Indian ghazal singer Chitra Singh in the 1970s and 1980s. Their combination album comprising music from the films, Arth and Saath Saath is the HMV‘s largest selling combination album of all time.[citation needed] Sajda (An Offering, 1991), Jagjit Singh’s magnum opus double album with Lata Mangeshkar holds the same record in non-film category.[citation needed] He sang in numerous languages. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan by the government of India in 2003.
(8 February 1941 – 10 October 2011)
Singh is credited for the revival and popularity of ghazal, an Indian
classical art form, by choosing poetry that was relevant to the masses
and composing them in a way that laid more emphasis on the meaning of
words and melody evoked by them. In terms of Indian Classical music, his
style of composing and Gayaki (singing) is considered as Bol-pradhan, one that lays emphasis on words. He highlighted this in his music for films such as Prem Geet (1981), Arth and Saath Saath (1982), and TV serials Mirza Ghalib (1988) and Kahkashan
(1991). Jagjit Singh is considered to be the most successful ghazal
singer and composer of all time in terms of critical acclaim and
commercial success. With a career spanning over five decades and a
repertoire comprising over 80 albums,[1]
the range and breadth of his work has been regarded as genre-defining.
He is the only composer and singer to have composed and recorded songs
written by Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee — also a critically acclaimed poet — in two albums, Nayi Disha (1999) and Samvedna (2002).
Singh’s 1987 album, Beyond Time, was the first digitally recorded release in India.[citation needed] He was regarded as one of India’s most influential artistes. With sitar legend Ravi Shankar and other leading figures of Indian classical music and literature,
Singh voiced his concerns over politicisation of arts and culture in
India and lack of support experienced by the practitioners of India’s
traditional art forms, particularly folk artists and musicians. He lent active support to several philanthropic endeavors such as the library at St. Mary’s School, Mumbai, Bombay Hospital, CRY, Save the Children and ALMA.
Early life and career
Jagjit Singh was born on 8 February 1941 in Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan, India. His birth name was Jagmohan but this was changed to Jagjit after his parents sought the advice of a member of the Sikh Namdhari sect.[2]
His parents were Sikhs — Amar Singh and Bachan Kaur — and had several
other children, with sources variously reporting the number between six
and eleven.[3][4]
Educated initially at Khalsa High School and Sri Ganganagar Government College, Singh obtained an arts degree from DAV College at Jalandhar and then a post-graduate degree in history from Kurukshetra University in Haryana.
Throughout this time, and as a consequence of a natural talent that was
spotted by his father, Singh learned music in Sikh temples and from
musicians such as Pandit Chaganlal Sharma and Ustad Jamaal Khan,
both of whom were trained in classical Indian music. He performed on
radio and on stage, as well as composing some material, although he
subsequently claimed that his father, who was a government employee, had
hoped that he would become an engineer.[5]
On another occasion his memory was that his father aspired for him to
become a bureaucrat and that his siblings were encouraged musically.[3]
In March 1965, and without the knowledge of his family,[5] Singh moved to Mumbai, where there were many opportunities for music artists because of the Bollywood film industry. He obtained work initially as a singer of advertising jingles and later progressed to playback singing.[2] In the same year he persuaded the record company HMV to produce an EP; he also altered his Sikh image by abandoning his turban, shaving and cutting his hair.[5] His first film role was in Dharati Na Chhoru, a Gujarati production by Suresh Amin.[citation needed]
Fame
Singh was still struggling to make a living in 1967 when he met the Bengali-born Chitra Dutta.[5]
She was also a jingle singer and was unhappily married with a daughter.
She divorced her husband and married Singh in December 1969.[3] Following the birth of their son, Vivek, the couple performed as a singing duo but it was not until the 1976[clarification needed] release of the album The Unforgettables
that they found significant, and surprising, success. In the interval,
the primary difficulty for them had been that the ghazal music genre was
dominated by Muslim artists[5] and especially those from Pakistan.[6]
The Unforgettables, which was the couple’s first LP,[3]
was an unconventional recording and it turned them into stars. The song
“Baat Niklegi” from the album achieved great popularity for the Singhs.[4] The Independent
described it in 2011 as “ground-breaking … it became a
transformative, before-and-after milestone in the history of Indian
popular and ghazal music. It remains that.” Using modern arrangements,
it consists of ten tracks that include two on which they sang as a duo
and the remainder equally split between Jagjit and Chitra singing the
lead. The Independent further noted that “This format of solo and
duet performances from the first commercially successful
husband-and-wife team in Indian popular music proved astonishingly
successful.”[2]
Jagjit explained that “I was determined to polish up the genre and make
it more acceptable to modern tastes, so chose simple poems and set them
to simple tunes. I also introduced western instrumentation to make them
livelier.” Thereafter, the couple worked both on solo and joint musical
projects and performed concerts worldwide. There was success from
involvement with the film industry and they amassed considerable wealth,[5] while Jagjit became known as “the Ghazal king”.[6]
Jagjit Singh’s work in film[7] encompassed playback singing for productions such as Arth, Saath Saath and Premgeet. He composed all of the songs for the latter, as well as for the TV serial Mirza Ghalib that was based on the life of the eponymous poet, Mirza Ghalib.[citation needed]
Among their subsequent duo recordings of the 1970s were Shiv Kumar Batalvi – Birha da Sultan (1978), Live in Concert at Wembley (1979) and Come Alive (1979). Of those released in the 1980s, Ecstasies (1984) has been described as “one of their finest”.[2]
The joint projects ceased in 1990 when their 18-year-old son, Vivek,
was killed in a road accident. Chitra felt unable to sing following
these events. Monica, Chitra’s daughter from her first marriage,
committed suicide in 2009.[2][5]
Although Jagjit continued to work and to have success after Chitra
withdrew from public life he, too, was affected by the death of Vivek. The Guardian
notes that he “suffered from deep depression and his anguish was often
evident in his live performances.” Aside from occupying himself with
solo projects, which he performed in several languages,[6] he collaborated with Lata Mangeshkar on an album titled Sajda, an Urdu word meaning “prostration”.[2][5]
On 10 May 2007, in the presence of numerous political and diplomatic luminaries at an event held in the Central Hall of the Parliament of India, Jagjit Singh rendered Bahadur Shah Zafar’s famous ghazal Lagta nahin hai dil mera to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Indian Rebellion of 1857.[4][8]
Death
Singh toured the UK in 2011 and was due to perform with Ghulam Ali in Mumbai[5] but suffered a cerebral hemorrhage on 23 September 2011. He was in a coma for over two weeks and died on 10 October 2011 at Lilavati Hospital, in Mumbai. He was cremated the following day at Chandanwadi Crematorium in Mumbai.[9][10]
A number of tributes have been paid to Singh after his death,[11][12][13][14][15] and some tried to encash his popularity which was criticised by his wife.[16]
Awards
- In 2003, Singh was awarded the Padma Bhushan, India’s third highest civilian award, by the government of India[5]
- In 1998, Jagjit Singh was awarded Sahitya Academy Award, a literary honor in India. He was awarded for popularizing the work of Mirza Ghalib.

Albert Rosellini, American politician, Governor of Washington (1957–1965), died from complications from pneumonia he was 101.
Albert Dean Rosellini was the 15th governor of the state of Washington for two terms, from 1957 to 1965, and was the first Italian American, Roman Catholic governor elected west of the Mississippi River.[citation needed]
During a political career that spanned 40 years, Rosellini was an
activist leader who worked to reform the state’s prisons and mental
health facilities, expand the state highway system, create the University of Washington Medical School and Dental School, and build the second floating bridge across Lake Washington.
Rosellini is the longest-lived U.S. state governor ever, having reached the age of 101 years, 262 days.
(January 21, 1910 – October 10, 2011)
Early life
Rosellini was born in Tacoma, Washington, the only son of Italian immigrants. He worked his way through college and law school at the University of Washington.[1]
Career
State senator
At the age of 29, Rosellini was elected to the Washington State Senate as its youngest member, representing the 33rd district in south Seattle, the home of many Italian immigrants. A New Deal
Democrat, Rosellini served from 1939 to 1957, eventually rising to the
rank of majority leader. He was elected governor in 1956.
Governorship

As governor, Rosellini coupled personal charm with decades of political know-how,[citation needed]
developing a reputation for decisiveness and ability to move ahead on
long-stalled projects. Don Hannula, longtime political columnist for The Seattle Times, wrote in 1996, “He was not a man of empty rhetoric. He got things done. His legacy is everywhere.”[2] In his 1997 biography, Rosellini, Immigrant’s Son and Progressive Governor,
author Payton Smith wrote: “He was attracted to issues where progress
could be made and measured . . . Budget reform, economic development,
transportation, higher education and institutions were the core matters
to which he devoted his talent and governmental know-how.”[page needed]
In order to promote economic development, Rosellini established a state department of commerce and championed the Seattle World’s Fair in 1962.
He shepherded construction of what still is the longest floating bridge in the world, the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge, which was opened in 1963, and carries State Route 520 over Lake Washington from Seattle to Medina.
The bridge was later named after him. In addition, he was a tireless
supporter of higher education, strengthening the state university system
and developing a system of junior colleges. During his time in office,
Rosellini also reformed the state budget process and balanced the
budget. Rosellini was defeated in his bid for a third term as governor
by Republican Daniel J. Evans
in 1964. Rosellini made a comeback bid in 1972, but while he captured
the Democratic nomination, he was again defeated by Evans.
In order to support projects, he raised the state sales tax from 3.5 cents to 4 cents,[when?] prompting Republicans to dub him “Taxellini.”[citation needed]
Consultant and elder statesman
After leaving office in 1965, Rosellini returned to the practice of
law, and also became a political consultant, specializing in matters of
the liquor and entertainment industries. Over the years, Rossellini
served as an elder statesman of the state Democratic Party, mentoring
political figures including Washington governors Christine Gregoire and Gary Locke.
In 2003, Rosellini was back in the news briefly when he was reported to have delivered campaign contributions to Seattle City Council
members on behalf of strip-club owners, one of whom was a convicted
racketeer. Rosellini was never charged in the scandal that became known
as “Strippergate.”[3]
Until his death, Rosellini attended fundraisers for candidates and
helped raise money for charities, particularly the Washington State
Olympics Committee, which he chaired for many years.[citation needed]
Danny Westneat, columnist for The Seattle Times, wrote in 2005, “His record makes most governors after him look like slackers.”[4]
Later years and death
On January 21, 2010, Rosellini celebrated his 100th birthday, becoming one the few U.S. state governors ever to reach the age of 100.[5] Rosellini died of complications related to pneumonia in Seattle on October 10, 2011, at the age of 101.[5][6]

Uno Röndahl, Swedish author, died he was 87.
Uno Röndahl was a Swedish police officer and author.[1]
(1924 – 10 October 2011)
Uno Röndahl’s writings centered on the Scanian history and especially the war events taking place in the province of Skåne and in particular in the border areas between contemporary Danish Skåne/Blekinge and Swedish Småland during the period 1645-1720.
Uno Röndahl was born in Näsum in Göinge. His career began in the Swedish Navy and then he became a policeman in Stockholm.
Already during childhood, his interest history of Göinge was awakened.
During his time in Stockholm he enjoyed rich opportunities to visit
museums, libraries and archives. This interest followed him when he
later took over as a police detective in the city of Kristianstad. With
research methods similar to that of a detective’s persistent curiosity,
he supplemented his history knowledge by for many years going through
old documents and archives not only in Kristianstad and the university
city of Lund but also in the National Archives in Copenhagen (Rigsarkivet).
The results often gave a very brutal picture of the war events during this period, particularly in the border regions between Sweden
and Denmark in north-eastern Skåne. On an almost chocking way, he
highlighted the difficult living conditions and suffering of the
contemporary civilian population. By means of his books he was able to
spread a more nuanced picture of the region’s history and the daily life
of the people of the era.
In 1981 he published the book “Skåneland utan förskoning”
(“Scania without mercy”) This book became a fierce criticism of the
established description of the Swedish wars in the former Danish
provinces of Skåne, Halland and Blekinge
in the second half of the 17th century. Uno Röndahl claimed that what
in Swedish history books was called “a peaceful transition from Denmark
to Sweden” was not as peaceful as is often claimed.
The book “Skåneland II – På jakt efter historien” (“Scania II –
In search of history”), was released in 1986. In this book Uno Röndahl
discussed the consequences of depriving people of their history. He also
describes in the book many of the historical figures, including those
from before 1658, who had played an important role in the history of the
old Danish provinces of Skåne and Halland, Blekinge.
The book “Skåneland ur det fördolda” (“Scania from the oscure”) was
published in 1996 and covers the often grim and tragic fates of the
common civilians, often forgotten in established history books or at
best are referred to as “a bunch of peasants”, “snapphane” and the like.
Year 2006 the book “Herulerna, det glömda folket” (“The Herulis – the forgotten people”) was released, with Uno Röndahl as a co-writer.
Uno Röndahl did not become fully recognized by the academic
establishment, despite his extensive research in the primary source
material. However, in later years his work has increasingly been used as
reference material in different historical contexts.
