To the Du music community, those who know the Silver City, Grant Co. NM scene

[BarbaRosa]

A great friend of the area music passed away this morning.

Jason Hammond, http://www.barefootstudio.org/.

Over the years I've known Jason he has always welcomed musicians (pro and amateur alike) into his home. His house is legendary for the Friday night jam sessions, as well as the studio he was developing.

My band was slated to do some recording this spring, but decided to postpone the session until fall in order to get our shit together a bit better..

"Jason was like the glue that brought us all together on the nights that we weren't gigging with our respective bands. Thanks to him, everyone played with everyone and we all became better musicians for it. His passion was to have live music in his home and his door was always open. Hopefully we will all carry this vibe with us and continue to keep the music family together"...JerryB

My best wishes go out to Gina, and all the people, like me, whom Jason touched and spread a little of his joy with.
