BOBBY KEYS RIP 1943-2014

BOBBY KEYS RIP 1943-2014

 Early this morning our beloved husband, father, family member, and friend passed away peacefully at home in Franklin,TN. Bobby was surrounded by his family and loved ones. He will be greatly missed as he touched so many lives and made a lasting contribution to the American music scene. Bobby's horn may be silenced here on Earth, but the music he graciously shared will eternally live on. In lieu or flowers and gifts, the family asks that contributions be made to St Jude's Children Research Hospital and The Humane Society in his honor.

 So sad to hear about Bobby's passing , we met him a few times, always nice though he was frail the last time we saw him  when the Stones rehearsed in Paris.
