Leroy Brenneman passed away this week at 84yrs. Leroy played in the southeast Iowa area with Bill Tyler and the Circle T Ranch Boys in the late 1950's. Tyler (song writer and singer)recorded a 45 (Blue Dawn) (Please Forgive Me Darlin) with the band and played live on Earnest Tubb Midnight Jamboree in 1959 to promote the songs. Leroy played non pedal Little Roy Wiggins style and later a 4 pedal Gibson steel, then ShoBud Baldwin and finally ShoBud LDG. He spent recent years playing in church.

| Condolences to the family. I remember doing a few things with LeRoy in the late 60's and early 70's. I lived in Brooklyn and I think he lived around Kalona. A really nice person. |
