So sad to think that he has gone, and yet we can rest assured that he will have his own place in God's great Western Swing band. He was always nice to me, from the first time I met him to the last time I saw him.
He liked to joke, and always had something going on. He showed me the drawing of the "cat Transporter" in Ruidoso several years ago, and I have not been "right' since. He claimed to hate harmonicas, so I'd tell him if he ran his fiddle cord through an M.X.R. Phaze 90, he could get that Harmonica sound. He got a lot of ribbing from his friends about Harmonicas.
I will miss him, and his wonderful friendship, sence of humor, and most of all, his fine playing. He's in a better place now, and free of pain. My heart goes out to his family and also YOU... his friends.
