RIP Freddie Roulette

Peter Jacobs · From: Northern Virginia

I somehow missed this earlier -- just wanted to share in case anyone else did, too.

From the Washington Post:

Freddie Roulette, a musician who helped bring the lap steel guitar — an instrument long associated with Hawaiian music — into blues, rock and funk to dazzling effect, died Dec. 24 at his home in Vallejo, Calif. He was 83.

What a remarkable player -- fearless and sometimes from another planet, but in the best way possible. Loved his playing and skill.
