So sad this morning to awake to a text from Bill Hearne. I first met Bonnie and Bill in 1974 at the Paradise Ballroom Concert Hall in Oklahoma City. My husband and I booked their magical trio several times and their concerts were like music from heaven. I will never forget Bonnie's angelic voice and gift on the piano. May she rest will the angels.

Danced to Bill and Bonnie starting in the late '70s at the Sagebrush in Taos....loved their good energy, great musicality and song selection. Bonnie's voice was one of a kind. She will be sorely missed.

The highlight of our most recent visit to Santa Fe was an evening at La Fonda & that particular night, Bonnie was there. The room was full so my wife & I offered to share our table which Bonnie graciously accepted. Later that evening Bonnie joined the trio to sing Love at the Five & Dime......pure magic!
It was a memorable evening of music & we always remember Bonnie`s wonderful voice.
Our condolences to Bill & the Hearne family.

More than 40 years ago I first met and had dinner with Bill and Bonnie at the Kit Carson in Cimarron. Our paths have crossed many times in Paris, TX, and numerous places in NM. Always, I found Bonnie to be a gracious, warm lady of amazing talent. The music that she and Bill performed has been a part of the soundtrack of my life, many songs conjuring special memories. Her passing saddens me, and my heart goes out to Bill and all of the Hearne family as they cope with this loss.
