Mike Lattimore, Opry Banjo/utility player that worked many years in Nashville with Wilma Lee and Stony Cooper has left us with no warning. A very funny guy and as good as any to work with.

I'll miss him as all will that knew him.
Originally from NC., Mike played many North Carolina TV shows before coming to Nashville in the early sixties and doing the same in TN.

Another hard loss for us,
Bobbe Seymour

Mike went with us to Vietnam in Jan 1969 when I worked for Jimmie Snow. He was an asset since he had worked a lot of military bases and knew some funny humor for the soldiers. Sorry to hear that he's gone.

He was a Master Showman Even Then and Left for Nashville From There. They don't make them like Mike anymore.
