R.I.P. James Best
Whether you remember him as "The Guitar Player" on The Andy Griffith Show, or as the bumbling but big hearted "Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane" on the Dukes of Hazzard, James Best was the consummate actor, musician, and artist.
Sadly, James passed away late last night at the age of 88 in Hickory, NC.
I've had the great pleasure of spending time with James and his wife Dorothy at their studio, and he was a true gentleman in every sense of the word.
Rest in Peace James.

Jim Lindsey was the character name. He played guitar with Bobby (or Freddie) Fleet and his band with a beat; they sometimes changed not only the character's name but also the actor from episode to episode on TAGS. RIP......
