| One of the classics! Knocked me out back in the day with his vocal on Phil Baugh's "Country Guitar." RIP, Vern. |

Sorry to hear of Varn's passing. I knew him from the So.California days. He played mostly in the San Gabriel Vally area with Bobby George, Phil Baugh, and another fellow Musician who's name escapes me.

Fred, if I remember right, the Blue Room (once owned by Eddie Drake and Johnny Paycheck) was in La Puente, which we pronounced "La Pee-you-enty."

I remember Vern from his old SoCal days before he moved to Dallas... He and Bobby G. were the composers of "Long Black Limosine" which is a country classic. I have an old record somewhere of Vern's called "Brand New World" which is sort of a Nightlife type tune. Jim Bob Sedgwick used to sing it back at the old Foothill. RIP Vern.....JH in Va.
