My grandpa Wells is pretty much gone. He sort of surprised all of us by singing along to "Happy Birthday to You" with his eyes still closed at his own birthday party, and he clapped dutifully along with us as it was over. One aunt, already a wreck, was beside herself at this time and continued to try to explain to him who he was and why we were all here.
He's forgotten me, but he was glad to hear I'm a grandson and that I love him. His memory is useless, but his capacity to love has not left him. He's had a great life. I doubt it'll last much longer, but I can't complain about the life he had.

You know 2016 is a rough year for musicians when even Ralph Stanley can't make it through the first six months. We all know him his stirring rendition of O, Death from from Coen Brothers' O Brother, Where Art Though.
