So Sorry for your loss. He played music with my step dad Blake Sloan and his kids for many years. He came in to my mom’s Cafe one time barefooted and she made him wrap papertowels on his feet so he could stay and eat!!! He had been out all night and didn’t want to go home til he ate… It was rather comical.
So very sorry Glenda & Family.
Sorry for your loss. I knew Geral back in the late 60’s and early 70’s . I went to bars to hear him play, and enjoyed it! He also worked for my brother in the day time setting up forms and pouring curb and gutter, and did great work!
