Bruce Kelly of Elbow Lake, a legendary bass player in West Central MN with an irresistable stage presence passed away in May 2014.
He was a fixture in many area bands including Patty And The Pinetones, The Barking Frogs, Skilly and Duff, Oasis, Cassie and The Bobs, Salty Dogs, and the Acoustic Cats.
He was a wonderful friend and it was an enormous pleasure to share the stage and his life with him for over 30 years.
