THEY TAUGHT THE WORLD TO SING: It is with sadness that we share the news from friend Sallie Macintosh of Kittery, Maine, that Rick Shaw, of the famed New Hampshire Shaw Brothers musical duo, died Thursday at the Edgewood Centre in Portsmouth at age 79, just a few days short of what would have been his and his late twin brother Ron Shaw’s 80th birthday.
His death follows Ron’s, in April 2018 at age 77.
