Russ Myers
On September 10, 2006 our friend Russ Myers departed this life after a long battle with multiple ailments. He was our master bones player, storyteller, and star of our first CD. We miss him. We are confident he has joined the Heavenly Choir, as he believed, but we doubt he is playing anything as sedate as the Harp. |
