Slide man extrodinaire Roy Rogers - Walkin' Blues

Partners up a lot with harp man Norton Buffalo. This cut is Roy by himself. Enjoy.

Back in his younger days. Very fun video in three parts complete with commentary about Reagan:

5. He found out in September

that he had lung cancer and it was already stage 4 and it had already metastasized to his brain. He was attempting treatment and some alternative avenues, as well, but at that point it would have taken a miracle for him to survive it.

4. hadn't heard that about Norton--I'm very very sad to hear that

I'd been giving harp lessons earlier this year to a friend of his here, who had promised to introduce us the next time Norton came out here. I assume Stan knows about this, but may shoot him an email just in case. Thanks for letting us know.

6. I'm sorry you didn't get the chance

to meet him. That would no doubt been lots of fun. He seemed like such a joyful character.
