Title: Archie Roach
Post by: Ratso on Sun 31 Jul 2022 04:25:10

I'm sad to report that a national treasure has passed. Archie's sons Amos and Eban reported that Archie has passed after a long illness. Re-united with his beloved Ruby again. I'm so glad I was able to see him live this year for one more time. I feel gutted.

Thanks Ratso, I hadn't heard the  :vsad: news.... very distressing but not unexpected.
Archie & Ruby had an amazing musical and personal partnership. "Charcoal Lane" will definitely be getting played here tomorrow as my little tribute.
