Oh my goodness, I had no idea.

Such very sad news. I met Rod in the mid 80s when he and Hamish Moore did a tour in the states. Hamish had been coordinator for Scottish Week at Augusta Heritage Arts Workshops a couple of times which was how I first met him, and he had let us know that he was touring so we suggested that he stop in my home town of Athens OH. We were able to spend a little time with the 2 of them, and I've been a fan ever since. What a lovely man and brilliant musician. I have always loved his voice, and choice of material.
