My daughter Tessa took lessons from your Dad in the 90's. I enjoyed listening as well and would sleep through some lessons rocking in his chair. My dad Clayton Shuffield although 15 yrs older played stand up bass with Roy Orbison and Bob.. We shared stories and memories of their friendship. Truly an outstanding musician and friend..I know his is playing his guitar and smiling, waiting for us to join him in eternal peace..
God Bless
