Scooby and Dolewhite from this year's Best of Nashville issue.
Well, this is a bummer. An epic bummer. Local DJ and radio host Curtis Senior, the Scooby half of WUBT 101.1 FM's The Dolewite & Scooby Show
passed away on Saturday. The show has been a fixture on the local airwaves for over a decade, Scooby an
integral part of local hip-hop and DJ culture, a really good dude and a great radio personality. I didn't know him well — a longtime listener, first-time caller sorta situation — but he was always a pleasure to run into when our crazy schedules happened to overlap, and from the looks of my newsfeed there were A LOT of people who felt the same way. But more than anything, his absence will be felt on my radio, where he's been a staple of my pre-club ritual for years, the soundtrack to a million treks across town on a mission see some music. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
Senior's friend, local filmmaker Ray Zate has re-cut some footage from last year's Stix Izza documentary Building the Highway to Mars in remembrance. You can watch the footage after the jump.
