I just got word a little while ago that my friend Gary Faile had passed away. Gary played drums for many years with Moe Bandy and we rode many a mile together. He was my best man when my wife and I got married in 1985.
Gary was the son of Tommy Faile, who was a singer-songwriter and TV and radio personality in the Charlotte, North Carolina area. Tommy wrote the song "Phantom 309" that was a hit for Red Sovine, and was covered by several other artists including Dave Dudley and Tom Waits.
R.I.P. old friend....

| Must be a tough loss for you and Sandy. And what country music fan could ever forget Red's "Phantom 309." |

| Tommy, I just read your post on Gary. What a shock. We did so many Moe and Joe shows and I always enjoyed Gary's playing and friendship. I will certainly hold the many memories of those times in my heart. My prayers go out to his family. RIP old friend. |

Gary used to do support jobs and sound for the Johnny Bush band when I was on the Bandoleros. Always a cool hang to have on the bus. Rock on, Gary.
