I got to see Ronnie a couple of times, one of the greats imo.

RIP Ronnie - a pioneer. He was responsible for bringing some top talent through his ranks.

That’s a shame. Seemed like a character, too.. RIP

Quite an innings! I remember seeing him on The Last Waltz and assuming he was 20 years older than the guys in The Band.

A life well lived, I suspect! RIP.

I've only really heard of him because Roy Buchanan played in his band for a while, but knowing how long ago that was, he must have had one hell of a long career.  RIP.
