Ronald H. Moewes

Keep on keepin on Ron! I miss you!

I still miss making music with Ron, I considered him one of the top Jazz drummers in our area. Ron is on 3 of my CD´s and sounds marvelous. He was also a kind and wonderful human being and always fun to be around (had a great sense of humor as well).

Here in the cornfields of Illinois, with whom shall I now share our love of Bill Evans. I guess that will still have to be Ron.

Pat, I am so sorry for your loss. Please take care of yourself.

Sincerely, Lynn Shanklin

I didn't know Ron personally, but we were Union brothers at Local 20 ... I've heard many positive comments about his musical techniques.
I was mainly Billy Wilson's bass guitarist at the Tally Ho; otherwise I'm sure we would've met one day. My sincer condolences to his wife and family ... TEd Ashinhurst ...

All of the kind words that have been said about Ron have never been so deserved by anyone. He was truly a gentle soul who shared his gentle spirit with all. We will miss him and be thinking of Pat and her great loss.

After hearing of Ron's passing, I pulled out six cassettes that Ron recorded of our week with Marian McPartland at Ray Iverson's Senate Lounge in 1970. Ron sounds great on that stuff. Also. like Joe Lopez's statement about Ron taking the time to burn CD's of artists he thought deserved recognition: He turned me on to the great Italian pianist, Stefano Bollani, by sending me a total of 30 discs of Stefano's over a period of three months. The turn out at the service was amazing, but not...

Ron was a great drummer and an even greater human being. I loved playing with Ron, he is on two of my CD's and we played several jazz festivals, concerts and club dates together. Ron was a true gentleman of wit and always brought a grin to any conversation. He will be missed, often remembered and always loved.

Whenever I saw Ron at some job he was playing he always said "Thanks for coming". I always responded "Thanks for being". This always brought forth a little smile. Myself and many,many others will continue to say;
"Thanks for being, Ron"
