Ron Getman Has Died
He was not on the list.
We were so sorry to get the news last night of the passing of Ron Getman. Ron was one of the founding members of The Tractors. Sending love and prayers to his family and friends. Ron was a wonderful musician and also recorded with greats like Leonard Cohen, Loudon Wainwright III and Janis Ian. Steve always said he if he could pick anyone to sing harmonies with him it would be Ron.
The Tractors (formerly known as Uncle Steve & The Tractors) were an American country rock band composed of a loosely associated group of musicians headed by guitarist Steve Ripley. The original lineup consisted of Steve Ripley (lead vocals, guitar), Ron Getman (guitar, Dobro, mandolin, tenor vocals), Walt Richmond (keyboards, piano, bass vocals), Casey van Beek (bass guitar, baritone vocals), and Jamie Oldaker (drums). Under the band's original lineup, they signed to Arista Nashville in 1994, releasing their self-titled debut album that year; the album only produced one Top 40 hit on the Billboard country charts.
