Can't believe I just found out about this, but Link Wray died on November 18 in his Copenhagen home.
Cause of death hasn't been announced, but family members said he was "getting tired".
Looks like 'ol Link has joined that Big Rumble in the Sky.
I'm glad I was able to see him play the last time he toured the States.
Tip a forty for him.

I'm going to take a switchblade to all my speaker cones. Raisin' a toast to the old guy.

Farewell to the uncrowned king of rock 'n' roll. Everyone who ever picked up a guitar wanted to be Link Wray, even if they didn't know who Link Wray was.
I'm not a system player. I am a system.
