Howard Shore?

[Otokichi]

Sorry, wrong century. That's Gustav Holst, composer of "The Planets," among numerous "small" works of the 1910s. I haven't figured out the photo-remote-hosting dance, so someone else can post a picture.

Unexpected small treasures: Suite #1 and #2, usually played by wind ensembles.

Good guess at figuring it out, Otokichi

Who was this heavy-metal badass?

hint: he was murdered while performing on stage

[edna]

I know this one. He was the guitar player for Panthera, a heavy metal band. His name was Dimebag Darrell.

*Pantera

[MindCrime]

absolutely correct Edna

[edna]

absolutely correct Edna

...not really, the band's name is Pantera and not Panthera, as Rockyraccon pointed...

OK, I'll try to post something providing my old '01 mac allows me...

Dennis Farina? j/k I don't know

[edna]

Hint: Tulsa Sound.

[bazooka]

That's J.J. Cale

Who's this ?

[Farin]

[bazooka]

He's been dead for more than 30 years.

His compositions are 'covered' in an unconventional tribute album from the early 90s that involved Charlie Watts, Keith Richards, Elvis Costello, Ray Davies, Robbie Robertson, Dr. John and other artists in diverse styles.

I hope that helps.

[MindCrime]

bebop jazz musician Charlie Mingus

hint: he performed 2 big hits in the 70's. One with a one hit wonder band and the other as a solo artist.

[edna]

American?

[phil]

Gerry Rafferty

[MindCrime]

Phil is right

He was a member of Stealer's Wheel

[phil]

There's a hole in my photobucket. Can someone else please submit a photo.

[MindCrime]

Hint: Neither American nor British

[Jenny]

I know who it is, but I can't post photos....
