Heartbreaking for sure that Ronnie left us too soon. Ronnie was my source for all kinds of musical goodies back when I first started my own recording setup. I was about 15 whenever I started my own multi-track recordings. I can remember buying Roland keyboards, amps, and anything else I could get a deal on. And he would always give me a great deal.
Ronnie was a fine player too. He had no problems playing any song, any intro, turnaround....and he always had a great tone. Seriously, one of the better players to ever play from our home state of Arkansas.
Sincerely,
Zane

I had just recently been wondering about Ronnie. I met Ronnie on my senior class trip 30 years ago. He was playing in (and probably running, IIRC) a Branson-type show in Hot Springs which all 13 of my class members attended. He caught my attention as a GREAT picker (after all these years, the only particular thing I remember was him playing finger-style guitar on Pam Tillis' "Put Yourself In My Place"), and I went up and visited with him at intermission. He was such a nice fella and a great musician. I had always hoped to run across him again, especially after I took up steel guitar. My condolences to his family and friends.
