Thank you for the music, the inspiration and for being so kind and encouraging to me when I had the honor to meet and to speak to you. I'll miss you Duane.

Duane:
Your guitar's sound flavored Molly Hatchet with
that down home smoky 'whiskey' essence and became the pure
sound of Southern Rock. You and Danny rock on in Heaven, take care of
each other; we'll sadly miss you here.

My condolences to Duane's family and friends. Duane was a big influence on my guitar playing. His sound was so awesome that I would listen to some tunes over and over because I could not get enough. I was so looking forward to seeing him with Gator Country. Big "D" and Flying V's forever!! May he rest in peace. With all my respect, Curt Garrison

This is absolutely heartbreaking. Duane was one of my all-time favorite guitarists and I was hoping I would get to see him with Gator Country. Thanks for all the great memories Duane- my heart goes out to all Duane's extended family and friends... Marc Wetherington Carlsbad, CA

Brother Duane, This is a tragic loss of a wonderful musician and person who touched the hearts of so many. Im in total, absolute shock over this. I so badly wanted to see Duane on stage again with his brothers (Gator Country) from the old Molly Hatchet days. Like Danny said on the album, "Stand on it....Duane!" RIP Tom Schoeller

To the Duane Roland family:
My name
is Bill Hansing -- you folks would not know me at all.
I
followed Molly Hatchet and all the permutations of the band afterward
for all these years. I later learned that Duane Roland is exactly
my same age -- and that he lived in Jeffersonville, Indiana and
Evansville, Indiana. I lived in those two places as well -- so who
knows if our paths ever crossed.
I just
wanted you to know that people are sharing your loss with you at this
time.
Duane
was a very talented artist and through the gift God gave him, he has
brought joy to so many people throughout his lifetime.
I will
pray for you that God's presence through His Holy Spirit is with you --
comforting you -- and assuring you that He is Lord.
Be at
peace in knowing that Duane Roland is with his Father in heaven.
Bill
Hansing
