I am so saddened for our loss of the Great Punchy Atkinson. How blessed we are to have had Punchy's talent here in Akron. I interviewed Punchy for the Sounds of Summit, an oral history project of the Summit County Historical Society, which should be available for all to view. Play on, Punchy. I know you are jamming with the guys in heaven.
