Robert Crotty

May 7, 1954 - August 12, 2011

"You said you were hurting
You almost lost your mind
Now the man you love
he hurts you all the time
but when things go wrong
go wrong with you
It hurts me too..."

~Elmore James

Robert Crotty passed from this earth early this morning. I met Robert 50 years ago when we were tykes...he was the only human being I knew on the planet that had a guitar and knew how to play it...and I owe what musicianship and chops I have to him patiently teaching me ever since...he will be sorely missed. please keep him in your thoughts tonight, and whenever you hear someone playing their heart out...
