The Canadian music family has lost a gem with yesterdays passing of Cecil McEachern. Derek, I know for sure that you will remember him. Cecil was the guitarist and fiddle player who played for many years with Don Messer and his Islanders. Cecil wrote or co-wrote many of the fiddle tunes in the Islander's repertoire. He was an inspiration to me and one of my earliest guitar heroes. I can still see him standin' there behind that beautiful old Gretsch playin' his "Guitar Boogie Breakdown". Several years ago I actually got to play that guitar and it was one of the biggest thrills I have ever had musically. Very sad today.

RIP Cecil.

I remember (having lived near Annapolis Royal as a teenager) when he played right some good (as they say in the Maritimes).
