OB Dave Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I saw this pop up on FB also. He actually passed away six years ago yesterday, but he had been waylaid by a stroke several years prior to that. So sad. He is very sorely missed. We did a handful of gigs with him back in the day, and in fact I have a Hammond console because we couldn't find anyone who would rent a B-3 for us to take to a festy in Mexico. Merl was headlining on a fly in gig, and I worked out a deal with the promoter where we split the costs of buying one and I got to keep it. http://www.oceanbeach.com/ches/daves_gear/MerlnDave.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 It seemed like not recent news but I somehow missed the fact that he passed away six years ago. Nice picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
