Guitarist Daniel McKenna Commits Suicide

Daniel McKenna, a former guitarist for a 1970s one hit wonder band committed suicide yesterday.

Daniel McKenna, a former guitarist for the band Toby Beau, was found dead in his home, apparently a victim of suicide, police said. McKenna, 54, died Wednesday. He was one of the original members of the band, which had a hit in 1978 with “My Angel Baby.”

“He was a phenomenal guitarist,” Art Mendoza, a former Toby Beau band member, said in a story in Thursday’s editions of The (McAllen) Monitor.

Sadly, I had never heard of the man or his band. I might recognize the song “My Angel Baby” if I heard it, although it doesn’t ring a bell.
