More sad news - Dicky Overbey (R.I.P) 4.10.14

[Uncle Roy]

Just read on the U.S Forum that steel legend Dicky Overbey has been moved to a hospice and been given days/ hours to live.
A truly great steel player.

[Ken Byng]

That is tragic news. He is one of the all time great player of slow songs. He plays heartbreaker solos, and with as much soul as the late, great Jimmy Day. This is very sad news indeed.

Was on the US forum today, sadly it looks like we're about to lose one of my favourite players.

Another great! This is not good news!

[Willie Gamble]

What a wonderful player, once upon a time there was Hughey Land and then, there was Overbey Land, right away up in the dusty area of the fret board.
Dickey I am thinking about you

Asleep at the steel.

Just saw on Facebook that Dicky Overbey has passed away.So sorry to hear this ,never got the opportunity to see live, but was one of my favourite players.Will be sadly missed by all in the steel world.My thoughts are with his Family.

Thx for the update Malc, I've updated Roy's Title accordingly! B
