Really sad news. Met Kurt in the late 60s in Portland.
A good man and a fine steel player.
Losing too many of our friends.
Rest in Peace.

Have I met him at the Portland jams? Anyone have a photo of him? Thanks! Sorry we lost a local steeler.

Thanks, James. Don't think I met him at any jam session. Still sad to lose a local member of the tribe 😞
