So glad to see Wayne celebrated, as well as the clips from Charles Kuralt's feature about Marty!

This was Wayne when he was pretty young.. If I haven't seen him for maybe 15 years.. Excellent player and just about the nicest guy you could ever meet.. I imagine hes still up in Ohio. I also see Jack Pruitt who I have not seen for 30 years. Used to love jamming with him

Wayne is very ill at the moment, I'm sad to say.
