Gary was, for several years, the member of the BEST dance band in Sierra County and maybe further. Much of the time this band played (it went my so many names I won't try to add them here) it played for free (or for tips) just to bring joy and entertainment into our communities. My favorite spot and favorite memory was when the band played at the Dam Site restaurant out on the patio when EB lake was full and the boating crowd would tie up almost next to the patio and hang out for an afternoon of fun. He was a part of this special group of guys and I thank Gary and know that wherever he is there will be music. Bless your heart - play on !! candi
