| Josh White, Jr. died on December 28 at age 84. Josh – who was affectionately known as Donny off stage – began his career at age 4 when his father, Josh White, the legendary blues and folk singer and guitarist, began bringing the young boy up on stage to perform a song or two with him. Josh White Jr. had a remarkable career that literally spanned 80 years.
Josh was a wonderful performer of folk and blues material and a masterful interpreter of his father’s repertoire. |

He was also a member of several other groups, including The Blue Flame Stringband, and a solo artist. |
