Patsy Bruce (Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys) has died. She co-wrote the song with her then husband, Ed Bruce, who died a while back. Last I heard she was living on a farm outside of Nashville. I met them back in 1974 when they were running a motel in Nashville that hosted a small music venue.

RIP Patsy.

A longtime favourite of mine has died. Well known film and TV actor Gavin McLeod was 90.

Born Allan George See in 1931, he appeared in the film Operation Petticoat, his big break. Many films including The Party with Peter Sellers later, his TV breakout was Murray Slaughter, news writer and foil to Betty White on The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

Of course, his starring role as Princess cruise ship captain Merril Stubing put him in TV immortality. The Love Boat lasted nine years, and he became a spokesman for Princess Cruises.
