This post is not so much about Hmmmm, as in strange, but Hmmmm, as in sad.
We, the world, have lost two great performers and great personalities.
Donna Summer 1948-2012
Donna rocked the music scene in the 70's and 80's. Her music brought her international fame and success.
Her contemporaries were Diana Ross among others.
She lost the battle with cancer.
Once again we are reminded that in death there are no beggars and princes. We are all alike.
Robin Gibb (1942-2012)
Adieu Robin

Robin , is one part of the famous Aussie export, the BEEGEES (Brothers Gibb).
The BeeGees enthralled us all with their songs in the 80's and 90's, with lead singer Barry Gibb, who had already lost another brother Maurice earlier in 2003.
Their youngest Andy ,was also lost at a very young age.
The BeeGees were a huge part of the 70's/80's generation. Their music was groundbreaking and their stage presence was mesmerizing.
Sadly, Robin too lost his battle with cancer, like Donna.
Watch 'Tribute to Robin.'
Many of us didn't know them personally but it's hard to see them go. Somewhere we feel connected and it's a reminder of our growing up , our childhood, our school life, our holidays, our life 30 years ago.
Reminds us that time is flying by. How old were we then?
Like their music , our memories can never die.
Adieu and thank you.

She works hard for the money.
