A Tribute to Jim Lansford

Dear friends, sadly, we’ve learned today that the exceptional musican Jim Lansford of Galena, Mo. passed away yesterday. If you didn’t know Jim, the video below is a good sample of his talents, along with those of his beloved wife Kim. Our sincere sympathies to his friends and family. What a loss.

Amber Gaddy also wrote a fine tribute to Jim Lansford for the Missouri Traditional Fiddle & Dance Network, which readers can find here: https://mofiddledance.org/2012/11/farewell-to-jim-lansford/
