In case any of you grasser, country, and billy rocker fans didn't see this thread buried over in the Miscellaneous Forum, here's a thread about Roy Jr. I started over there:

There are 324 listings. Some of them are for the Senior Huskey but most are Roy Jr. I probably would have run into the yahoo listing sooner if they hadn't mispelled his name !

Gosh Cat .... now I'm flattered ... ah shucks. I always figure that someone can't bring out the best in folks unless it is already there . By the way, have you been studying your Circle of Fifths and written that bluegrass song or fiddle tune with a 1-7-3-6-2-5-1-4-flat7-flat3-1 chord progression yet ? Let me know when you git er done !

[bluegrasscat]

that would be tough!! i cant even write a 1-4-5- song!! hehe... also if i was able to pull one out in the circle of fifths! it would have to be used in a Steven King movie or other horror flik!! lol

There are several good things on YouTube featuring Roy. Also, Sam Bush and Emmylou's tribute to him is there. Check them out.

That's some fine news there JT ! I can't think of a person more deserving of a personal website than your Dad. I had two country / bluegrass gigs last weekend and I listened to a fair amount of Roy Jr. in my truck on my 6-hour roundtrip journey (Mac Wiseman, Marty Stuart, Nash Ramblers, Hazel Dickens, Steve Earle, Aubrey Haynie, Circle Volume 2). I was inspired to play my old Kay at the gigs as sweet as I could. I ain't sayin' I played anywheres near as good as Roy Jr. but at least I know what it's supposed to sound like ! Keep on workin' on that website ..... git 'er done JT . I also hope you are finding some time to play the upright .... I'll bet the farm that you can hold your own on the bass pretty darn well .
