First, Marty. Short, five foot seven, quick on his feet, animated. Charismatic, even. Eyes like Buster Keaton. A musician who made most of his living from teaching guitar, occasionally bass or banjo, to local young people, or older people with ageing dreams, and groups of school kids. He earned the rest of his living with frequent gigs. He was well-loved in our community, and known for T-shirts with funny words or visuals, and quirky shoes.
