Buck McKeon shared his loan details with The Signal, but the article appears to rely on the conclusions drawn by a broker who examined the docs on the McKeon's behalf. They report that McKeon's rate was above the "national average" at the time. Forgive me for holding my breath until another news outlet of three has a closer look. SIGNAL

Last week marked the passing of Clare Fischer, the composer whose career started with big bands in WWII and went on to work with some of the biggest names in jazz, latin, R&B and pop music.

Clare had 50 albums and two Grammys to his credit. LATIMESWAPOBBC
