zombywoof Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Lawdy I am sorry to hear this. There are a couple of guys here who I swear have to be long lost brothers taken by gypsies at birth. OWF was one of them. I will miss you my brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorrisrownSal Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 OWF - if you can still get the internet... My cousin Kim joined me a few years back as we played Ashokan Farewell at my Father In Law's funeral. I played my Gibson, she her violin. I had never heard the song before she introduced me to it. She came up from Nashville for the funeral the day before, she taught me the song, and we played it the next day at the service. I tried to record it again tonight with me playing the guitar, and me playing the mandolin. However my mandolin is not as strong as Kim's violin. So I scrapped my effort, but my sentiment is the same, and I share with you the version Kim and I played years back. We are all melancholy with your passing, and hopeful you are in a great friggin place. https://soundcloud.c...okan-farewell-1 The sun is sinking low in the sky above Ashokan The pines and the willows know soon we will part There's a whisper in the wind of promises unspoken And a love that will always remain in my heartMy thoughts will return to the sound of your laughter The magic of moving as one And a time we'll remember long ever after The moonlight and music and dancing are doneWill we climb the hills once more? Will we walk the woods together? Will I feel you holding me close once again? Will every song we've sung stay with us forever? Will you dance in my dreams or my arms until then?Under the moon the mountains lie sleeping Over the lake the stars shine They wonder if you and I will be keeping The magic and music, or leave them behind Jay A.

dhanners623 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Sad news. Part of the family. Is there an obituary somewhere someone can link to? We knew one aspect of him, but I'd be interested in learning more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliasphobias Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 This should be a reminder to enjoy each day. If there's something you're waiting to do don't wait, do it. Buy the guitar you want, play it every chance you get, be kind and considerate to those you meet. So long OWF, RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissouriPicker Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 This thread has turned-into a sweet tribute for a very decent guy. His manner and attitude in here was pretty much what I've been fortunate enough to experience in this forum. To one degree or another we all leave our mark and Wiley left a good one.
