The New York Times has a slideshow (and sound-collage) of musicians that died in 2010, as part of the magazine's yearly countdown of important dead folks

Topeka's Big Woody (long-time area blues guy). I'm sure there were others.

How about checking your archives and putting together a list of local musicians we lost in 2010? I can read about national acts many places, but I count on the Pitch to inform me about KC/Lawrence/Topeka music and musicians.
