loungelyzard Member Registered: 10/31/04 Posts: 535 Loc: North Eastern Calif.	Fran: My condolences also, I'm sure he will be missed. My brother passed away last year, he was one of the founders of the East Bay banjo club, in the SF Bay area, and quite a few of the original members showed up to play at his wake.......Pose ------------------ Support the arts FEED a Musician Cheers....Pose _________________________ Support the arts FEED a Musician Cheers....Pose
