Subject: RE: Obit: Homer Ledford (11 Dec 06)
How sad it is to hear of the death of Homer Ledford. I had the good fortune to meet him on several occasions here in Ireland at some Bluegrass Festivals. Together with the Band "Cabin Creek" all you people from the Kentucky region can be assured that you could not have had a finer "representative" than he. His musicianship, stage presence and his courtly Southern manner marked him out and ensured that his concert appearances were always worthy of the ovations they received here in Ireland.
His long-time colleague Rollie is another who merits similiar acclaim.
They always struck me as the epitome of Old American society.
God be good to you Homer, I'm sure He will.
