My friend Mike and I went up to Youngstown Ohio to see Rory when we were teenagers. It was cold as hell and we were waiting at the door, the people running the place took pity on our sorry asses and let us in. We sat through the sound check and talked to Rory before the show some. I have heard since that Rory was the nicest guy in the world, and I gotta believe it. We asked him to play Pistol Slapper Blues, he said boy that's a hard one I don't know. But when he broke out the dobro during the show and said this is for my friends up front here we probably had the biggest smiles in the whole club.
Anyhow, I have since found out that Rory wasn't as "unknown" as we thought, that he was held in high esteem by his peers to this day. No more messing the kid
