April 15, 2023My father died early April 2023. He loved gospel, bluegrass music. In planning his funeral at short notice we found Carolyn Eyerly Band that was willing to come to Pennsylvania. Everyone loved them and it was a touching memory of Pop, especially the song I’ll Fly Away. Thanks Carolyn and the Band
