Josh Graves, the 73-year-old master of the guitar and dobro, has undergone a second leg amputation operation. Graves had been having problems with his legs since heart bypass surgery some time ago. Graves had a leg removed last spring and doctors have been working since to save his other leg. Vein grafts were used, but the regimen was not successful. Graves is said to be in good spirits and told friends: "Well, at least it wasn't my hands."
