Just heard on Michael Berry that Bill Fries had died over the weekend, most of you will probably know him as C.W.McCall
The day the music died.

Lost another old friend in the Bluegrass world--Roland White. He was 83, massive heart attack got him.
Older brother of Clarence White, the great flat picker. He was an innovative mandolin player. They formed the Kentucky Colonels and appeared a couple of times on the old Andy Griffith show. Then played with Bill Monroe and later Lester Flatt before being a founding member of the Country Gazette. Played for years with the Nashville Bluegrass Band and finished leading his own band with his wife.
He taught many workshops where he was so friendly and helpful with novice mandolin players.
It was my great privilege to pick with Roland, Alan Munde and Byron Berline (all members of the Country Gazette) over the last thirty years. Only Alan left now,hope he outlasts me!

Not a musician, but still something of a music legend. Read last night that Philly radio legend Sid Mark died at 88. I used to listen to his Sounds Of Sinatra syndicated radio show when it was carried on a local station. Lots of great music and stories from his 65 years of doing that show.

I know of no rock guitar player over the last 44 years who doesn't know that song.
