This couple certainly didn’t rush into marriage. George Kirby, 102, and Doreen Luckie, 91, are finally tying the knot shortly after Kirby’s upcoming 103rd birthday. The English couple has been together for 27 years, and after much pressure from their elderly children, they have finally decided to get serious. “I didn’t get down on one knee, because I don’t think I would have been able to get back up,” Kirby said, the Telegraph reports. The pair lives in a hotel in Eastbourne, East Sussex, and met in 1988 through an organization that helps seniors find friends.

    Prior to the start of their series, Anthony Edwards declared that the Nuggets are not good without Jamal Murray. During the opening seconds of Saturday night’s matchup, the Minnesota star guard was determined to prove his point. As the shot clock trickled down on Denver’s opening possession, Murray tried to dance around Edwards but couldn’t break loose.

  • C&L's Late Nite Music Club: Gary Moore
    The Daily Dot, Saturday - 05/04/2024 - 11:00 PM

    Gary Moore is one of the least talked about guitarists of his time, but man could he rock. Still Got the Blues For You is in my mind his signature track. Music Radar conducted an excellent interview with Moore and he discussed his music and guitar playing in general. Moore also has some advice for the prolix guitar player, and we have surely all been one, coming down with acute case of fretboard diarrhoea and using too many notes in our solos. Take a phrase, says Moore, and work on it, playing around with all the different permutations, accenting the first, second, or maybe the last notes, working on the dynamics – these are all ways of workshopping your phrasing and learning how to make more out of something simple and familiar.
