Farewell, Tater Tate
Clarence “Tater” Tate, a long-time member of Bill Monroe’s Bluegrass Boys and Lester Flatt’s Nashville Grass, passed away on Wednesday. Tater had been battling lung cancer for some time, and will be fondly remembered as long as people play bluegrass music.

You can read his obituary notice in The Johnson City Press online.
