Dead Page: Mac and Sam

BOB WELCH, 65
Guitarist, vocalist and songwriter for Fleetwood Mac 1971-1974, died June 7th.  Helped move the group toward a more successful pop sound and a big part of the Bare Trees album. 

I especially liked his two solo songs "Sentimental Lady" and "Ebony Eyes."


FRANK CADY, 96

Died June 8th.  You've got to love his recurring roles as Sam Drucker, the straight-man shopkeeper on "Petticiat Junction" (139 episodes) and "Green Acres" (145 episodes).  He was also on ten episodes of "The Beverly Hillbillies" and even twice as a town drunk on "The Andy Griffith Show."  Must have been Otis' pal.

Mr, Cady was in the Army Air Corps serving in Europe during World War II.
