Bobby Keys

Just like to know why all the sidemen die before the band members (other than early casualty Jones).

Turns out Keys was a roots man:
In Lubbock, Keys befriended Buddy Holly, playing with him briefly as a teenager. "I kind of weaseled my way into the perimeter of the garage," recalled Keys. "He was the first guy I heard play electric guitar and it impressed the hell out of me."

Morbidity Ed.:
Nicky Hopkins, Ian Stewart, now Keys.

But not "actual" band members. Pact w/ the devil?
