DUANE ROLAND:R.I.P.


Don't know how many of you out there are/were fans of the great southern band Molly Hatchet, but Duane, one of the founding members(lead guitar), passed away last Monday. He was the last remaining original member of the band when he sold the name (to one of the second generation guitarists) in 1990. He apparently died of natural causes at age 53 (my age!What the hell's natural at 53!).
I just saw him in May of this year in a band called Gator Country, which consists of ex-members of Molly Hatchet. Great show, glad I got to see him before he passed away; sorry I won't get to see him again.
