Jerry Byrd March 1920-April 2005

Roy Thomson · From: Wolfville, Nova Scotia,Canada

Jerry was 85 when he left us and not too long afterward I wrote this instrumental " A Bird Has Flown". It was one of two that I composed to honor this great player.
Always remembered.

A great song, Roy. To me, it incorporates many different styles of Jerry's playing through the years. Moving.

Yes Roy.. Jerry was my inspiration when I first thought of playing steel guitar...(and he still is today). I know of many other steel guitar players who were also inspired by Jerry. (Buddy Emmons being one.)
Thanks for posting your beautiful song. Lee

Pretty playing, Roy. And an interesting mix of Byrd's phrasing with your own,
