R.I.P. Ivor Cutler

by mcnichol »

I just found out Ivor Cutler passed away this past Friday. While his name might not be familiar (especially in this country), his influence stretched over 50 years, through the famous and not-so-famous. He was certainly one of the few people one could call "original."

Here's his obit from The Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/obituaries/st ... 11,00.html
