NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Musician Bob Foster, who played steel guitar at the Grand Ole Opry and on many country music records, including the first recording session of Patsy Cline, died Tuesday. He was 71. Foster had suffered from diabetes and heart problems. Foster, a native of Greenville, S.C., moved to Nashville in 1946. He worked first with Red Foley, and went on to play on many hits, including some by Carl Smith, Kitty Wells, Webb Pierce and Gene Autry. He performed at the Opry from 1947-1963. Foster was hired to play on Cline's first recording session, which resulted in the song ``A Church, A Courtroom and then Goodbye.'' ------------------ |

Bob was one of my heroes when I was learning to play. His little lick he put on Autry Inman's tune " Uh Huh Honey" is one that still stands out in my mind. My deepest sympathy to the family. Jody. |
