Rory above else, was a musician who loved to perform. He achieved early international status above Eric Clapton and others, but was more interested in the music than star status and loved to perform in smaller intimate venues. He was an independent stubborn quiet spoken man who became a Rock / Blues demon when he got on stage.
Imagine Rory and John Zurn together on stage today! He loved to explore the genre and would no doubt have been to the forefront in bringing people together in helping to restore New Orleans and the Delta / Gulf Coast. His tribute to Clifton Chenier, "the king of Zydeco" could well become the battle cry to restore that area - a task that will take 5 years or more.
