Yes, he died just over three years ago, as discussed here: http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=229332

I just got this in email yesterday. What a nice guy. Played a nice front porch guitar.

How could I forget. I left it on in the background.
Especially enjoyed seeing Barney and his judo again.

What I'd really like to hear one more time is Andy doing 'What It Was Was Football.'

Ben, this is outstanding. I haven't heard it since it came in an LP jacket.
Thank you so much!

Charlie:

Thanks for reminding me of that routine....I had not heard it in 50+ years either. He was one in a billion....such a down to earth guy. Wish I could have known him.
