My sympathy to all the Kuhn kids and their families. Remember, grief is still an expression of love. Blessings to you all.
I first met Mr. Billy Kuhn about thirteen years ago at a jam session in Madison, Ohio. Somehow, I wound up playing along with the Country Masters and the first thing he ever said to me was “Take it, Marty!” That was the moment I realized how little I knew about playing guitar! I haven't learned a great deal about playing guitar since then, but I've definitely learned a great deal about what the word “family” means. Billy & Nancy made me feel welcome from the first time I set foot on their homestead, as they have made every visitor feel welcome. God bless the Kuhn family.
