A bygone time was also recalled in the way he would take off his hat while listening to the solos — the melancholy moan of the stand-up bass played by Roscoe Beck, the mandolin hauntingly plucked by Javier Mas, the aching tones of Bob Metzger’s steel pedal guitar — or when accepting the adulation of the audience. When singing, though, his voice belied the years, the low
