Born: December 17, 1910 Pack Saddle Creek, Grand, OK, USA

After having a successful career in the music business as a songwriter and fiddle player, he killed his wife and went to prison. The day he was paroled, he made a public appearance and had a heart attack. He died in true country-western fashion.
"It seems like the period I spent with Randy Rhoads was ten times longer than when I was with Black Sabbath, and ten times longer since I've been without him."
