I just noticed a post on Facebook from Augie Meyers page that he had passed away at the age of 85 over the weekend with his wife by his side.
I really enjoyed his music.
RIP Augie

Re: Augie Meyers
Another Texas legend crosses over.
I never worked regularly with Augie, just played a gig or two with him onstage as a guest or as a fill-in; we were cordial with each other nevertheless. Always had a good word between us when our paths crossed over the last 5 decades or so.
I know Josh Dubin was a member of Augie's band in the 70s-80s. Maybe Josh will share his feelings about the man.

Re: Augie Meyers
I have his (last record, I think) released in '21 called Simply Augie. It features Bobby Flores on violin and steel. And it's a great album. Goodbye Augie.
