tpbiii Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 Thank you all so much for the kind replies. Her memorial was at the Armuchee Bluegrass Festival -- a place we both loved. Here are the videos of the musical part of the celebration. https://vimeo.com/showcase/6034122 There is a 32 RB-3 Gibson banjo and our 35 Jumbo Gibson guitar there, as well as an old Kay bass, a 46 D-28, and up front Aina Jo's 39 S-51 five string Kay bass and her late 50 MWard (Kay) guitar she learned on and played for me the night I met her in 1967. [For those who like such trivia, that bass was the main instrument of Mike Fuller (Fuller's Vintage Guitars) for many years. Aina Jo liked it better than the near identical one she already had, so she left her older one in Texas and brought this one back to Georgia.] I love all the odd threads of our musical lives. Best, -Tom 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuestionMark Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Tom-those were very moving videos. I enjoyed them all. My favorite was the song Aina Jo. Also, Shenandoah. Thank you for sharing these wonderful tribute videos to your wife. QM aka “ Jazzman” Jeff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
