Link Wray
Tribute Show
Sunday, January 15, 2006

A proclamation from the governor designated Sunday as "Link Wray Day" in Maryland, in honor of the late pioneering rock guitarist who spent his formative years in Accokeek. The day was capped by a celebration of his music performed over six hours at El Boqueron II in Rockville. Seven ensembles performed in front of a packed house that included Wray's children and grandchildren -- who at one point took the stage to sing "Will the Circle Be Unbroken."
