I got a call this past week from fellow musician Joe Messick with the sad news that a great musician and singer, GT (Gordon Thomas) Amell passed away on Feb. 4. He was a regular at Eddie’s Place during the spring and summer months, but in the winter time, he wasn’t there much due to the fact that it got too dark in the evening for him to drive. He was one of the finest men I’ve known, a true Christian, and a great singer and guitar picker. For all those that played music with him or saw his videos on Facebook posted by Gerald (Bo) Messick, he will be missed. We hope he left knowing how much he was loved and appreciated. I hope the photos will bring back fond memories.
Local musicians are featured Friday evenings from 6-8 at MawMaw’s Restaurant. This past Friday, Mountain Blessings, with members from Advance to Virginia, performed bluegrass and gospel music.
