RE: Little Roy Wiggins in hospital

This is bad news, especially on the heels of Bashful Brother Oswald's fall a
couple of weeks ago and now the news (apparently a bit hopeful today) about
George Jones.  I surely hope they all recover and return to making music.

Little Roy Wiggins in hospital

[Brad Bechtel]

As reported by Stoney Stonecipher on the Steel Guitar Forum (http://www.b0.com/forum):

Besides the bad news about George Jones, I got more bad news yesterday. Faye Wiggins 
called me yesterday, and Roy ["Little" Roy Wiggins, steel guitarist for Eddy Arnold] 
has been in intensive care for the last two weeks, due to kidney failure. He is now on 
dialysis. I was able to speak to Roy this morning for just a second by telephone, and 
he is very, very weak, with very little hope for much improvement. So, along with 
George and Nancy Jones, say a little prayer for Little Roy, an icon of the Steel 
Guitar world. Roy is in the Baptist Hospital in Knoxville, TN 37920.
