Frank Ray and his son Scott

Cedar Hill from Missouri made a lot of friends and fans when they played over here a couple of years ago, so many people in Ireland will have been saddened to learn that Frank Ray (left), founder of the band, lost his 39-year-old son Scott earlier this month.

'Lost' may be the wrong word to use. Read Frank's tribute and valediction to his son, as shown on Tuesday this week on the Prescription Bluegrass Blog, here.
