Roye Donald, with Bob Giaciometti, will be our March feature. Roye tells us that Marty Robbins was his earliest influence, remembering 'El Paso' at about age 8. In 1963, he got his first electirc guitar and played until 1968, when he heard Crosby, Stills & Nash, sold all his equipment, bought an acoustic guitar and never looked back! With a father who loved all kinds of music, he had early experience from opera to rock'n'roll to gospel. As a street kid with no guitar training, he utilizes mainly a flat-pick strum, mostly to accompany his singing. As a composer, his highlight to date is a recorded song of the Vietnam War in the Library of Congress. Although he makes no claim, his -reminiscent of Gordon Lightfoot- voice is sure to give us at least one reminder number.
[Editor's Note: Patterson's April feature is Sheila Volastro.]
