Mike Argento, a York native and graduate of York Suburban Area High School and Penn State, first came to the York Daily Record in 1983. He even had gray hair back then. After stints covering everything from cops to city hall to state government to the environment, he began writing a column for the paper, three times a week, in 1989. His column can be about anything and so is his blog, which encompasses life in York County and beyond. And, for the record, as he told his wife the other night, he wishes people would stop asking him, 'What's wrong with you?' He really doesn't know. Bobby was a great guy, a humble country boy who would play the guitar like nobody's business.
He passed recently.
At his memorial service ths other night, his family and friend gathered to honor him. They did.
Bobby was a genuinely decent man -- there wasn't a mean bone in his body -- who just happened to be a great musician and songwriter. He grew up in the desert out west, played with a bunch of country bands and spent the last few years playing the blues with Bllind Joe Death.
He loved to play the guitar and even when he was sick, suffering kidney disease and a variety of ailments, he was happiest with a guitar in his hands.
