Larry left this earthly realm in November 2008. Front Room Music salutes Larry as part of the original circle of
Texan/Coloradan singer-songwriter brothers, who, along with Jack Mathes and the late Steve Brown,
whose music and friendship inspired Jim Stricklan to establish Front Room Music.
Larry's 2009 and 2018 memorials were held near where Larry dwelled in rustic refuge
on the humble homestead "Summertree Farm", along Onion Creek - legendary locale of many
surprising song circles, Perseid meteor shower soirees, moonlit magical bonfires, 'razzleberry' brunches
and the final rainbow farewell to our beloved rascal charmer gypsy songman.
