Down On The Corner
By Paul Moffett

Right at the end of January, the Louisville music scene was confronted by the deaths of two well-known figures, Rocky Adcock and Dana Roy. Keith Clements' columns from January and February 2001 have Rocky’s story and are combined in the February Ramble. We have much less on Dana, unfortunately, as he was rather quiet and not a publicity-seeker. In any case, we send our condolences to the families and friends of both men.

The ongoing task of uploading back issues continues, although with less-than-complete success. Not all issues from the 1992-1993 years have been located, although for some of those there remains some of the text. For the moment, all the text from those issues have been uploaded. When print copies become available, the additional text and photos will be added.
