I never was granted the pleasure of enjoying one of Long John's live performances. However, anyone who has heard his music knows he made his role model proud. May the peace of God that surpasses all understanding console Mr. Hunter's loved ones during this time of grief and mend their lives as they continue without him. Heartfelt condolences from The Carter Family!
