skeith Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 Not sure why this has received almost no attention, except that the guy pretty much dropped out of music for about 60 years. He was right there with the early beboppers and played to much acclaim from around 1945 to 1947. He died just about one month ago and I saw nothing in the New York Times, but the Guardian UK did have an obit. Just thought some of you might be interested. Quote
J.A.W. Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 Wasn't there a thread about him some time ago? Anyway, another sad loss. He was a vastly underrated guitarist, and I wish his recordings would be reissued. Quote
skeith Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Posted January 31, 2006 Actually he died on Dec. 26th, according to my friends in Cleveland and The Guardian obit. Quote

skeith Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Posted January 31, 2006 Sorry, I missed the earlier thread. I did not look at this Board for about a week at the end of last year and I guess that by then it was already on the second or third page. Thanks to those who noted it earlier and dug it out today.

I couldn't find it, probably because I searched for "Bill De Arango" instead of "Bill DeArango". 'Arango' did the trick. That 'Search' function has to be treated gently -_- Quote
