In Memory of

Jerry Merritt
1933 - 2001

I play occasionally with Gary and Carroll Hill and Clayton Watson.  Gary is attending Centralia College where I teach.  Clayton lives at the beach and owns a business.  Carroll is retired but continues to work at the Lucky Eagle casino, where we occasionally perform.

I played guitar with Clayton Watson and Lord Dent & The Invaders on A 45 Called "Wolf Call" around 1956 or 1957.  It was recorded In Tacoma, WA.
