I am so saddened to read about John's death. I can remember when Daddy played with the band and Mother and I would love to listen to them. I know that he is now in heaven with Bill Saylor, Dean Clawson and Daddy and all of the other wonderful bluegrass musicians. Please accept my sincere condolences.
