i just want to say what a fine human cary was. very positive and enthusiastic. we'd been bumping into each other more and more and i feel like we were gonna be great friends. i'm sorry for everyones loss of such a good man and musician. you will be missed and remembered,cary. jake richmond
My condolences to everyone in the Loose Gravel family. We lost an amazing musician and a wonderful person. I will really miss Cary's funky spin on a second line rhythm. But, most of all I will miss our conversations of NOLA Funk and his genuine excitement toward it.
Thank you so much for the ad . It was a great mistake but I'm happy about it. Go figure ! You guys are a class act. My kudos to the band. LOL to you from nobody famous. Just another blues boy from the bay area. Best Regards Eddie Neon
