Gene MAYL

I would be remiss not sending my best to the family. My father in law and mother in law, George and Toni Agnos, who owned the Hitching Post, his daughter who was my wife all cared deeply about Gene. I played with Gene a few times and he would always greet me with a smile, calling me brother. I still miss him and even though Katie's parents have gone, we still listen to his music and talk about the old times. My condolences to the family of Gene's and as the old Greeks always say, Bless and...

The family still listens to your records. We miss you and all of the Greek families from the Hitching Post.

Rather late condolences for all those who knew Gene Mayl. Sorry for your loss. He was an amazing person. Gene and his Rhythm Kings played at my 11th birthday party in our back yard at 329 Northview Road which is where we met. I remain a fan of his music to this day, although at the time I was more occupied with Bill Haley and the Comets. Then Armstrong came to town and I finally got the Dixieland and classic jazz message. Years later, as "Tom Bodean" I am still playing old school jazz and...

Was just talking with my mom about Gene, and I looked him up and found he had passed. My mom and dad saw him many times and always talked about him a lot. Their first date they saw him play. He will be missed greatly.

VWe were saddened to hear from Eddie Bayard, that Gene Mayl had passed. Though I had not seen Gene in many years, it brings a smile to my face to remember some of the pickup gigs I played with him.

I always enjoyed working with Gene Mayl, and enjoyed listening to recordings of his D.R.K. He was an excellent musician and bandleader and told me some of the most interesting stories imaginable concerning the musicians he had met and worked with over the years.
He will be missed.

Gene Mayl was a great musician & band leader with his DRK. I had the pleasure working gigs with Gene in Dayton & on the road.
I always mad it a point to visit Gene at Trader Joe's every time I came to Ohio to visit my sons and my grand children. I talked to
Gene just a couple of weeks ago and he was always cheerful on the phone. He will be missed. Eddie Bayard

I failed to give my name as the trombone player who played with Gene for many years.
