Within the last few weeks. I think the bassist is not a Cowsill Cowsill. They have a regular near me, but I haven't seen them. My drummer (my?) sits in sometimes. They do oldies, lotsa Beatles.

That poor family.

They've had enough problems as is without them being a Katrina victim.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I saw a brief blurb on the news last night that the body of the missing Cowsill, Barry, was found yesterday in the New Orleans area, an apparent victim of the flood. Here are a couple of the news items I found on the web:

Barry Cowsill, missing since Katrina, found dead

By Chris Morris
Thu Jan 5, 10:16 PM ET

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The body of Barry Cowsill, singer-bassist for the '60s pop act the Cowsills, has been discovered in New Orleans, more than four months after he went missing when Hurricane Katrina hit the city. He was 51.

Cowsill's body was recovered December 28 from the Chartres Street Wharf, according to Dr. Louis Cataldie, head of the state hurricane morgue. The body was identified January 3, based on dental records. A cause of death was not determined.

A Wednesday posting on the Cowsill family's Web site brought the discovery to light.

Cowsill had not been heard from since he left a message on his sister Susan's cell phone September 1. A former member of the Cowsills and the Continental Drifters and a fellow New Orleans resident, Susan was unhurt in the disaster.

With Susan, mother Barbara and brothers Billy, Bob, John and Paul, Barry Cowsill was a member of the popular Rhode Island band that bore the family name. The group charted eight pop singles from 1967-69; its biggest hits, "The Rain, the Park and Other Things" and the title song from the musical "Hair," both reached No. 2 nationally.

The Cowsills served as the model for the Partridge Family, a fictitious family band fronted by David Cassidy and Shirley Jones, whose 1970-74 TV series spawned its own run of hits.

Hurricane blamed for death of Barry Cowsill
Cowsills member found dead on a wharf four months after disappearance

Updated: 12:23 a.m. ET Jan. 6, 2006

NEW ORLEANS - Barry Cowsill, a member of the popular 1960s singing family The Cowsills, was found dead on a wharf nearly four months after he disappeared when Hurricane Katrina flooded the city. He was 51.

Cowsill’s body, recovered Dec. 28 from the Chartres Street Wharf, was identified with dental records Tuesday, said Dr. Louis Cataldie, head of the state hurricane morgue in Carville.

The coroner had not determined the cause of death but believed it was related to the devastating storm, which struck the city Aug. 29.
My sincerest condolances to the Cowsill family for their loss.

What an awful way to go. And the saddest part is that he was far from alone in that.
What do you mean the Bass is too loud???
