Bart's Memorial - Lunch
Forums:
Hey y'all, I spoke with benice today. As some of you know there will be a memorial for our dear comrade Bart on May 19 in Grass Valley. Memorial starts at 9:30 a.m. Benice is planning a lunch for the out of towners at a local Mexican restaurant that she and Bart used to love at 11:45. If anyone is interested in or planning on going to lunch, let her know ahead of time as she is making a reservation. Also, I think she's looking for photos of bart and friends for albums she is putting together.

Benice, I sent a message to the Deadbeat folks to let them know. Glad to hear Tom is in the loop already.
I may not be able to stay for the lunch, depending upon my family's plans for my Dad's 85th B-Day celebration, but I plan to be there when things begin.

I met a guy walking his dog
I met a guy walking his dog at the beach on Monday who is from Grass Valley. I think he said he was on the City Council there. He said he would be at the Memorial. Small world.

Hey Mark,
Hey Mark,
I'm going, but it'll be a day trip for me. I'll probably be leaving from Berkeley around 6 - 6:30 AM (maybe a little later?), if anyone nearby wants a ride. Round-trip service, if you like.
The gathering is at BriarPatch Food Co-op at 9:30 AM, right?
It will be good to see Benice and other dear friends.

What a wonderful tribute to a
What a wonderful tribute to a superb guy. From Mylar and Furious leading the music to the sweet testimonials and great reminisces. Lots of LOVE. Zoners made a proud showing overall not just in the band. The food and margueritas afterward were wonderful. Really as positive a day as it could have been.
Bart is greatly loved and missed.

Honored to have been a part
Honored to have been a part of that.
t'was a truly beautiful grass valley send off.
Henry was an incredibly kind spirit and deserved only the best.
my mando playing was grossly under prepared and not nearly in the league as the pro's that showed up.
hopefully I managed to add something and not detract too much from what they were laying down.
that 'he's gone' outro jam got some serious air.
Loved hanging with everybody as always!
big thanks to Nancy for the sunscreen and shade.
lunch was delightful.
so much love and respect to Benice!
((((Bart)))

Better late than never, I
Better late than never, I will concur that it was a lovely and touching memorial. Hearing from people who have known Bart much longer than we have was great, and my overall feeling was that we are blessed for having known him. Big props to the music-makers, who were lovely, I teared up at one point. Blessings to benice, who in the midst of all this was still acting like the consummate hostess. Glad she has such a solid support group all around.
