Deat of Robert "Ragtime Bob" Darch

[gordon stelter]

I met Bob at the Tom Turpin International Ragtime
Festival in Savannah, a few years back. He was a VERY
nice fellow who carried the ragtime torch LONG before
"The Sting" induced the revival of the 70's!
Basically, when very few cared. He was also an
encyclopedia of early vaudevlle routines, jokes, and
etc.. He will be very dearly missed, I am sure!
