I always like to visit with Thurman. His passing caught me by surprise. Prayers for his family.

RIP old friend

We will always remember Thurman and Maurine. Enjoyed the many hours we spent with them in the early days of the TSGA. He will always be missed just as Maurine was.
Will look forward to our next visit on the other side.
See you later old friend.

Sorry to hear about this one. A true lover of steel guitar. I rememeber playing "Danny Boy" at Maurine's funeral as his tears were rolling. His smile and excitement will be missed
