Location: Chehalis, Washington | For those of you who are familiar with him, Christian and Bluegrass guitarist Roby Duke passed away on December 26th. Apparently he suffered a heart attack while alone in his home, and was found later by his assistant.
The wierd part is that until last November I had no idea who he was, and I actually got to spend an hour at a music conference just chatting with him about guitars, music, and whatever. He may not have gained big international fame, but he was a man with a big smile and a love for music.
Godspeed Roby - your music and heart will be missed. | |

I hope that you will remember, as well as be influenced by, Roby!!!
I will look him up, to listen to a few of his tunes. New discoveries are always fun. | |
