Dear List,  We have lost a legendary pianist and entertainer.
On Saturday, October 20, 2002, "Ragtime Bob" Darch passed away.
I did not know him personally, but did get a chance to hear him
perform a few times.  The link below is for the obituary printed
in the Joplin Globe newspaper for October 23, 2002
