Sad news indeed... but we are blessed with the knowledge we've gained from early pioneers like Falco and The Captain. I only hope some of the current crop of youngsters learn more about these incredible people. On the day of J?YC's 100th birthday there was so little time given to celebrating that event and spreading knowledge of The Captain. I'll have to watch The Silent World again when I get home.

Poor Falco had the bad luck to die on the day of the French presidential election, so he didn't even make it to p5 of the newspaper here, nor to the evening news on the television.

It seems as if their generation are now almost completely forgotten even here in their home country.

How sad.

Afterdark, that was great video. I've just watched a couple Falco video's on You Tube.

If anyone has a chance to watch The Coral Divers of Corsica, it's great. Falco was awesome in that video.

RIP Albert Falco, you will be missed.
