Passing away of two entertainers

Yesterday’s Singapore Straits Times Life section, there were 2 articles about the demise of 2 great entertainers. I have been a keen follower of these 2 for a long time.
The first was the death of the famous English cook, Keith Floyd. He was the whimsical TV cook fond of demonstrating his cooking mainly on outdoor locations.
I recall once he did a show outside a hotel in Australia and it rained. He had to continue his show in his hotel room. Half way through the shooting the Firemen broke into the room because of the smoke! Another time he did his show on the wharf of Hong Kong Harbour. Throughout the show, there was an old fisherman reprimanding Floyd in Cantonese, as he was obstructing the movements in the wharf. He obviously had no idea what the fisherman was talking and continued on with his show. Keith would normally have a glass of wine in hand for a “quick slurp” every now and then in his show. You can see why people follow his show. It is more for the entertainment, rather than the cooking. Hope he will have many happy slurps up there.
The other person who passed away was Mary Travers lead singer of the 60’s-70’s folk group Peter Paul and Mary. I grew up to like the American folk music and was largely influence by the songs of this group. Although most of their hits were not their own composition, we always associated them with Peter Paul and Mary. In this part of the world, in the “old days” we did not know much about Bob Dylan or Peat Seeger. We only knew their songs through Peter Paul and Mary.
One thing in common with both Keith Floyd and Mary Travers, they both married 4 times.
