Ronnie James Dio (left) and Craig Goldy (right) – Photo by Mark WeissHOH friend and famed photographer, Mark Weiss, spent time with Craig Goldy recently, prior to the Dio tributes in LA last weekend. Craig Goldy began touring with Ronnie James Dio in 1987. He recorded the Dream Evil album and toured the world, and it was the beginning of a friendship. Craig says ”Dio’s the perfect example of how one man can change the world. Ronnie changed the world. He created his own universe with his lyrics and the way he wrote. He was so good to his fans – he would take the least and make him the most – he had a way of making you feel that you were the only one in the room for that time together. He would blow your mind with kindness. The whole world was affected by that man.”
Listen to Craig below as he talks about the time he spent with one of the the most beloved singers ever.
