A Rock and Roll . . . “Rest Of The Story”
The Marshall Tucker Band announced the passing of Marshall Tucker last week at the age of 99. Tucker was never an actual member of the band. He was a blind pianist from Spartanburg, South Carolina. He used to tune pianos in a warehouse that the band started rehearsing in. They found an old keychain with Tucker’s name on it, and since the bad needed a name at that time, they just took it. Singer Doug Gray said they didn’t even know Marshall Tucker was a person. They thought it was a company name.
