R.I.P. Uncle Rick Frye 1953-2007

It is with a heavy heart that I report the untimely
death of current HSB drummer Rick Frye.

Rick was best known for his work with legendary
Columbus group "Phil Dirt and the Dozers", He had been
doing double duty with the Dozers and with the Hadden
Sayers Band (dubbed "Hadden Sayers and the
Hillbillies" for Rick and his brother; HSB Bass Player
Mark's West Virginia heritage).

We had just finished a showcase performance in
Williamsburg, VA when "Uncle Rick" collapsed on the
sidewalk behind the venue. All attempts to revive him
failed and he was pronounced dead at the emergency
room in Williamsburg on Friday Jan. 5th.

Uncle Rick was a life-long musician....he had a great
song-serving groove much like his heroes the great
Benny Benjamin and Charlie Watts. He was loved by his
fellow musicians both on and off the stage.

Rick was the type of musician you didn't need to call
in advance of a gig to discuss what it paid or how far
away...the unspoken rule was "take the gig...I'm in".

His only love in this world other than studying,
discussing and playing Rock and Roll music was his
Family...an intensely loyal and loving brood that came
to see him perform constantly.

He was all heart with an ocean for a soul and I will
miss him greatly.
