I've know Roddy for the entire of my life and I consider myself very lucky to have so many amazing memories of him and others from the folk and bluegrass scene of the late 70's onwards. Last time we bumped in to each other he told me he found a recording of me when I was 4 singing in my dads dinning room studio, we laughed our socks off.

You could feel Roddy a mile away coming towards you, the atmosphere became light and silly then you saw his eyes light up and his cheeky grin rose across his face and you could be there giggling like little kids not knowing what you were laughing about.

I will never forget Roddy and John Neve looking after me at Tex's funeral they told me so many amazing stories of looking for work in cov you know when the dinosaurs were around. Roddy taught me so much about life love belief and just 'being man' let alone song writing and mixing genres that empowered my life I am forever indebted to him.

Roddy will never be forgotten as meeting him burnt an experience into your soul you would be very lucky to experience again. He is the interplanetary trucker and he trucks for MR Big.
