"Dr. Don" Leaves A Musical Legacy
KENTUCKY....
Sixty-one year old Donald Everett Bevins, better known and loved as "Dr. Don" Bevins, of Pikeville died Sunday of a sudden "cardiac event." Bevins, a radio and television personality, documented life and sent classic rock out over the airwaves for more than 30 years, and he leaves eastern Kentucky a musical legacy. Bevins graduated from Pikeville College in 1970. In 1965, he and Darrell Mullins formed the band the "Stepping Stones" for which he was keyboardist. Mr. Bevins worked in television filming parades, including the Hillybilly Days parade, along with ball games, public meetings, graduations and interviews for the local public access cable station, WPRG-Channel 5. He worked for 17 years for Gearheart Communications until he retired in 2007. "Dr. Don" will be sadly missed.
