TIDBITS® RESEARCHES

CAREERS CUT SHORTby Kathy Wolfe

The music industry has suffered many sad losses over the years. This week, Tidbits brings a sampling of those talented legends whose premature deaths resulted in promising careers cut short.

• Baby boomers will recall Ricky Nelson asone of the biggest teen idols of the 1950s and 1960s. Starting out on his family’s television show “Ozzie & Harriet,” Nelson began hisrecording career in 1961 with the million-selling “Travelin’ Man,” followed by another chart topper “Hello, Mary Lou.” He was still recording in the 1980s with his Stone Canyon Bandwhenhecomposedthehit“GardenParty.”AsNelson,hisfiancéeandbandmemberswerejettingtoaNewYear’sEve1985performance,afirecausedbyamalfunctioningheaterbrokeout in their DC-3, and the plane crashed, killing the 45-year-old singer and several others.

• Soul singer Otis Redding recorded just onemillion-seller and No. 1 hit. Just three daysafterrecording“Sittin’ontheDockoftheBay”in1967,the26-year-oldReddingandhisbandboarded a plane in Wisconsin, encountered a storm, and crashed into Lake Monona. Four months later, the song hit the top spot on the charts.

„ “Set up a phone call between kids and grandparents a week or so before visiti ng. They can talk about what the kids might like to do. It gives the grandparents ti me to prepare, and it gives kids a chance to build excitement before the trip.” -- G.R. in Ohio

„ Clean and disinfect a wood cutti ng board with salt and lemon juice. Sprinkle the board with a healthy dose of plain salt (kosher or coarse salt works best), and scrub it with a cut half of a lemon. Rinse and clean with soap and water.

„ Hairspray spritzed on the end of a thread will sti ff -en it long enough to get it through a needle head. You also can thread your needle in front of a surface that’s an opposing color (e.g., a white piece of paper while threading a needle with black thread).

„ “When shopping for seamless bras, bring a T-shirt that is relati vely ti ght-fi tti ng to wear over the bras. You will know right away if there are seam lines or if the cup is too small. These issues someti mes get overlooked when a bra is worn under a looser shirt.” -- E.D. in Ontario, Canada

„ Another use for baking soda: It’s a perfect exfolia-tor. It’s good for the whole body and is pH-neutral, so it won’t overdry skin. To use it, just make a paste and rub onto skin. Rinse, and enjoy the soft ness.

„ Cold and fl u got you down? Once you clear those symptoms, try gargling with saltwater. It reduces in-fl ammati on in your throat and washes away irritants and bacteria.
