RIP DOYLE HOLLY

[davetakis]

very sad news that doyle holly, bassist for buck owens and the buckaroos has passed away from prostate cancer.

also, "sneaky" pete klienow[sp] from the flying burrito brothers has also passed. complications from alshiemers.

and bill carson has passed also. without carson, the strat may never have been made:
"Carson holds a very special place in Fender history and hence in the history of popular music as one of the fathers of the Stratocaster® guitar. It’s often said that Leo Fender designed the instrument specifically for Los Angeles-area Western Swing guitarist Carson, a colorful Stratocaster “test pilot” who suggested many of its groundbreaking design elements."
