This list is huge and unfortunate. Seems like this year was rough for a lot of people. I know I'll be arranging some of the music from the great talents we lost in 2016 to honor their memories. |

I stole the chords from Dean Kobayashi (Skydiver)'s cover of Purple Rain for NS/Stick. My version isn't very Sticky, though, and is piano/MIDI/bass. Violet Reign (chords of Purple Rain: Bflat sus 2, Gminor7, F, and Eflat) I hope that we have seen the last of this morbid Deadpool list for 2016 (except nobody is making predictions or placing bets). But I'm just saying--if Betty White goes, I'm burning this motherfricker down! |
