Well known and loved Austin TX guitarist Lars Albrecht has passed away. The cause of his demise is his long-fought battle with brain cancer.
A native of Norway, Lars was a long-time Texas resident and was a mainstay of many Central Texas bands. He and I were colleagues on many occasions, spanning decades, with Gary P. Nunn's band, the Sons of the Bunkhouse. And many others.
I hope that more than a few Texan members of the SGF had the pleasure of working with Lars. He understood how a steel guitarist and a lead guitarist can complement each other and be greater than the sum of their parts.

Herb:
I have been a GPN fan since “London Homesick Blues was a Baby! I met Lars years ago with the Bunkhouse Band at many gigs. He was a keeper for sure and a fine Gentleman. Really could play (top shelf )as all of GPN’s band members could.

Lars was put to rest yesterday in his hometown Moss. It was a sad and respectful funeral with lots of friends participating.
Having played in a norwegian backing band with Lars for 20+ years I have a lot of great memories. Lars brought a lot of great Texas-artists over to Norway to play the festivals in summer time. To many to mention - great learning experience for us honky-tonk vikings.
