Hello
ReplyDeleteThanks for including my dad Oscar Martinez in your music collection.
Oscar passed away July 15, 2020. He was 86 years young. He was still thinking about his next hit that he recorded in Oct 2019!!.
Hello, my name is Debra Bonner Nickerson, my father was Weldon "Juke Boy" Bonner. I wanted to let Mr. Chris Strachwitz know how much I appreciated him for coming to Houston, Texas and taking an interest in my father. I remember when my father introduce me to Mr. Strachwitz, when he brought him to our house, I must have been about 13 it was either 1968 or 69. I still remember how excited my father was to introduce Mr. Strachwitz to me, I was excited too. Mr. Strachwitz told me then that he would make my father famous. My father went on to record some beautiful music under Archoolie Records . But his fame was short lived as he passed away in 1978. I just wanted to let Mr. Strachwitz know how much I appreciated him for all he did for my father, Weldon Juke Boy Bonner. Mr. Strachwitz, you have been a blessing to many struggling artist, you saw greatness in them and you pulled in out of them. Thank you for all that you have done to enrich the lives of many through their music. Your work has not gone unnoticed. God bless you richly! Debra
