Several people died at once

Impressionist David Frye died this past Monday of a heart attack at the age of 77.

He was not the best voice impressionist I've ever heard; in fact when he tried to maintain a voice for more than a few sentences, there were occasions where the impression seemed to slip away from him and the inflection or pacing just sounded off. But his ability to capture the (if you'll pardon the cliche) essence of a person's mannerisms and facial expressions more than made up for it. And when he nailed someone, damn did he nail them.

And another part of my younger days slips away.
