Not sure what to say?

Who would not remember"Count Steadell" who heard him play, or played bass for him. !!!

I can't stop thinking of the Count. We had a variety of gigs together. We learned from one another. We played golf many many times. He had the coolest groove of any piano Ive ever played with. I can hear him playing now. I was good enough to be his bass player. Skip Garrett Sr.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
