The Colorado Sound S9 EP38 2015

(EDITED:  4:20PM) This is not a very happy day for our scene.  Gary Lee Bomar, owner of Gary Lee’s Motor Club and Grub on South Broadway in Denver, has reportedly passed away from injuries sustained recently in an accident in Mexico.

According to a FB post that came across Sunday, from Gary Lee’s sister Tiffany;  “Gary Lee Bomar passed away this afternoon surrounded by his family and close friends. This is a finality that we never could have imagined. We have done our best to keep you all updated through this tragedy. We are now asking for PRIVACY to mourn the loss of our son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend. We will post arrangements when we have them made. Thank you for your kindness.”

Prior to receiving news that Gary Lee Bomar had passed away, I received word that Denver bluesman JD Kelly has been moved to hospice care.   I've known JD since the '80s when he fronted JD Kelly & the Love Bandits and played regularly at Linden's in Fort Collins.  More recently he appeared as second vocalist and trombonist in Eef & the Blues Express.  He and Blues Express keyboardist Jimmy Ayers were diagnosed with stage four cancer this summer.  According to friends in the scene, JD had stopped chemo treatments recently.

[EDIT] JD Kelly passed away today from colon cancer.  RIP.  😦

I met Gary Lee once, so I cannot say I knew him.  I do, however, know many of his friends – musicians all – some well known to us in the scene.  The outpouring of love and support on FB this day is evidence enough of what he meant to so many.  RIP Gary Lee Bomar.

Changes afoot at Avogadro’s Number in Fort Collins.  Liz Evans is out as talent buyer/in house promoter according to a post she made on FB this weekend.

The Colorado Sound S9 EP35

Late getting this post done.  Busy busy weekend …. my band played Thursday and Sunday evenings, and my wife and I performed at the inaugural RimRock Music & Camping Festival in Conifer.  Got to “sleep in” today LOL … (no, not really) …

I got a pretty cool anthology this week that contains some rare and unreleased cuts from the Monocles / The Higher Elevation called “The Spider, The Fly & the Boogie Man” that came out in 2008 on Denver’s Gear Fab records.  It’s all music from the bands as they emerged from about 1964 to 1967 ,…. good stuff.

The first two The Colorado Sound Presents @ (The Walnut Room) / (Avogadro’s Number) went well.  We’re working on some upcoming pairings at both rooms.  Look for upcoming shows with Danny Shafer and with No Fences among others … Goatz! has also been invited to perform at a new room in Denver, that’s due to “open” for music in October – more on that as it develops, but it seems that this new place will be themed Americana, bluegrass, country, and folk.

I got confirmation this week to do an episode of Offstage Beyond the Music with Bloodshot recording artists the Yawpers … I’ll be sitting down with them in October for a November episode of the series.
