1) David Bowie
CAS used this picture from the CAS Gallery and captioned it ‘Ziggy says farewell…’ (or similar): https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/?s=ziggy&g=12) Glenn Frey/The Eagles (there is a wide selection in the CAS Gallery):
https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/gallery/photo-04165/3) Ian ‘Lemmy’ Kilmister/Motorhead
The pictures from Mike’s post on the CAS Old Forum no longer work. They included cumulus like dry ice from another group Lordi.
http://www.network54.com/Forum/385606/thread/1234685717If you can post alternative cloud pictures related to the above or other lives, I would be curious.

And why not ice:

P.S. Mike, yes that was it, thank you – ‘H’

George Martin
Lucy in the sky with…
https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/gallery/photo-02209/
Not sure why you get the gallery picture not the link, and on testing, the mouse pointer on the picture does not go to the CAS Gallery where I searched ‘Lucy’.

RE: George Martin
N.B. I think we may have a bug in the system since the link back to the CAS Gallery does not seem to work – it would have shown that Lucy does work in the sky. The full text follows (I inserted [Mills]):
‘This rare capture of a Vortex was taken at 16,000 feet above Wellington, New Zealand, from the cockpit of the Auckland Life Flight Air Ambulance, where Lucy [Mills] works as a Flight Nurse. In very unstable air, these vortices can be drawn up by a Cumulonimbus updraft and produce tornadoes.’

Peter Maxwell Davis
Composer, including Orkney Wedding Sunrise:
https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/gallery/photo-03107/P.S. Also wrote Lullaby for Lucy (an Orkney child I believe).
P.P.S. All these tributes are from the musical world, so far…

Prince
I am sure there are purples in the CAS Gallery (there are purples in a current slider picture) but I see no search function. So I offer this from NME (there are more if you google ‘purple’):

Shakespeare
The media is today (also his birthday) marking the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. I have not found an appropriate cloud picture (can you?) but this was interesting
-
Arnold Palmer
A champion if ever there were one. I could not find an appropriate cloud picture but ‘champion’ is the last word in this link:
-
Another musical tribute.
Leonard Cohen
His song Anthem includes a reference to a thundercloud
https://www.leonardcohenfiles.com/album10.html#78and I think he would like that it is called Hector

Andrew Sachs
aka Manuel, ‘I am from Barcelona’ in the Fawlty Towers TV comedy
But you will have to search ‘Barcelona’ in this Forum to get a picture of Barcelona. If you then click on the picture (04914) in the top left line per usual you only get this link (to the Gallery currently starting with the Supermoon over Neath, S. Wales)
https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/gallery/photo/photo-04914-x-2/Amazingly he was only in 12 episodes.

Mose Allison
Blues pianist, singer, songwriter
http://www.bruzz.be/nl/nieuws/jan-fabre-kijkt-bezoekers-schone-kunsten-recht-de-ogen
A well known song of his is Parchment Farm. I found another farm, ‘Backlit Clouds on ByOak Farm’ it is about the fourth picture down the list:
-
The blues are looking me into the eyes through the eyes of Jan Fabre, Hygge. Did you use this link by mistake or on purpose? In either way very funny.

-
Thanks, I like that Hygge. It makes me feel free to use this thread as an excuse to add this link:
Eric Verlinden’s new therory of gravity
In some way also a tribute, although still living.
-
I’m afraid Verlinden is as clear as mud to me, but I enjoyed wallowing in it as a Hampshire Hog might. Gavin’s explanation, albeit a different gravity perhaps, I could follow:

Glen Campbell
One of his hits was Wichita Lineman and this link has some v.g. images (Wichita, Kansas, and Wichita Falls, Texas)
https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/?s=wichita
N.B. Hiccup – if you search Wichita you get the images, but then clicking top left to copy the link is not pasting the correct link…

Barry White
He turned up on my local radio recently as I think he may for ever. His baritone voice reminded me of CAS Forum contributor Andrew Kirk http://www.network54.com/Forum/385606/search?searchterm=baritone&sort=match
Andrew is CAS’ man in Owens Valley, Ca (land of the Sierra Wave). These are his earliest and latest entries in the CAS Gallery
https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/gallery/photo/photo-02598-x-2/
https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/gallery/photo/photo-n-186887/
My thanks to Ian and Gavin for help in finding my way in the CAS Gallery.

Cassini OCT 1997 – SEP 2017 Pioneering Saturn probe.
OK. A lovely picture of Saturn. But this thread is a random way of showing earthly clouds, so since this came from Laurie I offer a White Sands, NM, photo from Laurence’s link

Bobbie Gentry (a stage name)
Ode to Billie Joe (q.v.) was on BBC Four two days back. Gentry chose to vanish from the music scene some four decades ago, but here are some ‘Mississippi clouds’ (google it and you get many interesting clouds from other areas too).
EDIT: Well, in fact you only get the interesting clouds…
-
Fats Domino
Well, I searched ‘blueberry’ after his famous ‘Blueberry Hill’. It gave me J Claveau in Art, I know not why; being in Art I noticed this latest one which happened to be within my stamping ground, so… At least it’s fairly blue, though not hilly.

Dan Gurney, racing driver
Part of the first and only all American team to win the Le Mans 24-hour in 1967. Once stopped for speeding in Arizona…

Billy Graham retired to North Carolina, I think. The following on this CAS Forum suggests he made a good choice:
Lorraine Lordi
ParticipantI am very happy to have this new forum. I look forward to taking more pictures and talking with others across the world. Thank you. Lorraine in Asheville, North Carolina, USA. North Carolina’s nickname is “Land of the Sky” because in these mountains, we can see the sky change moment to moment. And we always have clouds!

One of his songs Blue Green Grey and Gone:

Andre Previn – polymath musician as BBC Radio 3 Jazz Record Requests said in their tribute: (for jazz fans only)
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0003rrb
Two words from that tribute, street and rainbow, led me to these

Stan Getz
Double Rainbow
https://www.google.co.uk/search?source=hp&ei=LIKvXb62MYTosAf3_LyYCA&q=getz+double+rainbow&oq=getz+double+rainbow&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0i22i30.2157.23336..27011…0.0..0.105.1524.18j1……0….1..gws-wiz…….0i131j0j0i10j0i22i10i30j0i8i13i30.4qK-OhEZd8U&ved=0ahUKEwi-_MDg9LDlAhUENOwKHXc-D4MQ4dUDCAs&uact=5#spf=1571783243735
When I heard this on BBC Radio I thought it was a good excuse for a tribute (although Getz died in 1991 and Tributes are normally for those who passed away more recently):
N.B. Alec Jones contributed to the CAS link – twice a frequent contributor to the Forum, twice lost.
