Bluegrass Pioneer and 'Rocky Top' Singer Bobby Osborne Was Shot in the Head in Korea
Bobby Osborne remained a player at the Grand Ole Opry with his band, the Rocky Top X-Press, right up until his death. He was the oldest standing member of the Opry.

The last Osborne brother, Bobby, passed away at 91 a couple of weeks ago. I missed the original notice and didn't see any post here (if there was a post, I apologize for the double post). What I never knew was that Bobby was a Korea Marine wounded in action. I spoke to him several times when I lived in Nashville in the 1970s and he never mentioned Korea or the Marines. He impressed me as a good guy who enjoyed music, loved crowds, and had fun. May he rest in eternal peace.
