    After a great career he became a front man at 50. Who would have thought this session guitar player would all of a sudden change. I'm glad he got the spotlite, he was a local legend and he will be missed.
    I will personally miss him and the Blues Insurgents that gave him a new lease on life.

    He and my Dad often did jam sessions or played the same venues back when Dad could play. Dad described him as a "class act", and I can only agree with j to the jeremy. Dad died just about a month ago - hope they're jammin' on the next level.
