John Duffey Obit

Noah talks to Katy Daley, an on-air personality at commercial radio station WMZQ in Washington, DC, about John Duffey, founder of the bluegrass group "The Seldom Scene." Duffey died yesterday at age 62 after a heart attack. Duffey was also in "The Country Gentlemen", an earlier group that helped popularize bluegrass. He played mandolin and sang in a high, tenor voice.
