[AGL] RIP Johnny Moyer

[Frances Morey]

Gerry,
The loss of his wife probably aggravated the "long term illness" which leads me to believe that it was cancer. The URL I sent last February, re John Farr in Taos. He has selections of live performances of The Lost Austin Band, and Johnny Moyers is no doubt playing on them.
 
I sent this to you before, back in February, with the URL's of the Grack web site where there is a music download on the website where some songs of John Clay and The Long Lost Band in live performance are archived. You might like to give them a listen in memorium. I can't believe the obit didn't mention the decades in which he played base with the Lost Austin Band.

Seemed like he never got over the death of his wife.

Johnny Moyer has died. He was an old friend from way back. I first met
him in the summer of '62. I mourn his passing.
