I can add a little bit to Frank's news. Jerry passed away Wednesday
morning after a lengthy illness. I forget exactly when, but something
like 2 years ago, he appeared to have suffered a stroke, but further
diagnosis and testing revealed an inoperable brain tumor. I think he was
back and forth between VA hospitals in Baltimore and Perryville since
then.
Joyce Lundy Miller (widow of banjo player Ted Lundy, Jerry's cousin) is
going to be sending around news about funeral arrangements, I'll try to
pass that news on as soon as I know it.

Joyce has informed me that funeral services for Jerry will take place on
Thursday, Jan. 11 from 10-11 am at Crouch's Funeral Home in North East,
MD. Burial will be in the Veteran's Cemetery in Easton, MD.
For those with an interest in the Lundy genealogy, Joyce also gave me
some interesting information, some of which corrects previous
misunderstandings on my part:
1) Jerry's father was Everett "Fiddlin' Buck" Lundy, one of 15 children
of Emmett Lundy
2) Ted Lundy's father was Charlie Lundy, whose father was Clark Lundy.
Joyce believes that Clark and Emmett were cousins, but is not sure if
they were 1st cousins, or what the exact relationship was. If they were,
that would make Ted and Jerry 3rd cousins.
3) Bob and TJ Lundy ("Ted Jr." - formerly of Hotmud Family) are Ted's
sons.

TJ was playing fiddle with Bob Paisley last year. I had a
nice talk with him.

Actually, both Bob and TJ are working for Paisley these days, as is Don
Eldreth Jr. (Don Sr. worked on and off in the Southern Mountain Boys for
a number of years). Danny and Mike Paisley, of course, have worked for
their dad for years.
