Thread Name: Obit: Fare thee well Bill Bonyun (1911-2001)
Subject: RE: Obit: Fare thee well Bill Bonyun (Aug 2001)
Sitting here at my home a half mile from the Bonyun farmhouse where I spent many an interesting day and evening as a young lad in the company of the Bonyun family and their ever present guests. While settling into my daily routine of trying to self learn guitar, it occurred to me that perhaps some of Bill's music might be lurking on the web. A quick search led me to Tom Smith's page where, to my delight, I was able to listen to the wonderful sound of Bill and Gene performing "Jenney Jenkins" and this site. I remember watching them sing this very song in front of their living room fireplace and it brought me back in time to a great place.

I can see from the posts that I have read that Bill has touched many lives and I can be counted among those that miss his presence. I only wish I could have had musical aspirations as a child so that I might have absorbed a piece of his magic to carry on for future generations.
