Hey Leo, I was sad to hear about Uncle Pete's passing. Clarke Rohn called me a couple of hours ago and told me about it. Rembember when he used to come and see us all the time? He was a jewel and he'll be missed by all who knew him.....JH in Va.
Don't matter who's in Austin (or anywhere else) Ralph Mooney is still the king!!!

Jerry,Losing all my Musicians brothers & Sisters is worst than the divorce I'm going through with my soon to be X right now. She don't understand my feelings for all my Musician friends from over the years who I know and cherish.I didn't even tell her about Uncle Pete & I won't.Anyway,it's sad enough and this has been a real hard year for me with losing so many good friends let alone great Musicians & Singers.God Bless All! :cry: Leo J.Eiffert,Jr.

Sorry to hear about Uncle Pete's passing. He was a great guy. Over the years I played some casuals with you and Pete, always enjoyed them.
