RIP Gene Kurtz

My friend and fellow Texas bassist Gene Kurtz has passed away. He spent the last several years playing with Honky Tonk star Dale Watson, but is known for writing the hit song "Treat Her Right" for Roy Head. He was a great "old-school" bassist, and the nicest person you'd ever meet.

Give "Treat Her Right" a listen.

It's tough to lose both a good friend and a respected fellow musician. Please accept my condolences Ronn.
