Link Wray
It was just announced that Link Wray - the legendary surf guitar player - has passed away on November 5.
His official website:

Back in 1999 I used "Rumble" for the soundtrack of Rocking, not a very original choice but one of the finest surf tracks I have heard. I've had the chance to catch another surf legend, Dick Dale, performing live and Robert Gordon, with whom Wray recorded a couple of great records in the 70's, but missed out on Wray's shows when he came to play in New York. It seems to me that not enough news outlets are paying tribute to his legend and legacy. But I would like to. May he rest in peace.
