Good Morning everyone

We just got word that Murray Paris passed away last night or early this morning. He was in hospital in Fredericton. We don’t have the arrangements yet but will pass them along.

Murray was a long time member of our group and played guitar and sang. He sang many of the old Wilf Carter songs, plus a lot of the old cowboy songs and all from memory. The Old Blue Pot, the Balogna song, the Fishing License, and the Trading Stamp songs were just a few of his most requested. One of my favorites was When the Works all done this Fall, and another was Papa’s Wagon.
The one thing we remember most about Murray was no matter what you were doing or how bad things were going, he always seemed to be having a good time.
