drummer Roy King's wife has passed away. Roy is well known to many who've heard
him at Nighttown and around the city and beyond, whether with his band, Roy
King's Court, or the many others he has backed up with his incredible
musiciansship. I have had the pleasure of having him in my church band, on my
recordings, and as a friend for over 20 years.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Roy is a humble, private and lovable guy and he
deserves many prayers and support as he works through this incredibly tough
time. </FONT></DIV>
