Bluegrass pioneer Curly Seckler’s death, which happened Dec. 27 in Nashville at age 98, was not unexpected.
But it was still dreaded by many in the bluegrass world – especially by his biographer, Penny Parsons of Durham.
“I’m writing an obituary, but I basically already wrote it in advance,” Parsons said Thursday. “I anticipated it would just be too hard when things happened. It was a privilege to know him and an honor to be his friend.”
Seckler, a native of China Grove, was born John Ray Sechler on Christmas Day 1919. He started out playing banjo with his brothers in the 1930s.
