Playing music with Deke was always a pleasure. I seem to be losing more and more band mates as time progresses. I´ll soon be sharing peace and soulful music again with Calvin in the arms of our Lord Jesus in the ultimate gig in Heaven. See you soon Deke.

My sister in law introduced us to Calvin about ten year ago.
Calvin came and played for us. He let me sit in with my harp and we played Into the Mystic by Van Morrison. Calvin was soulful and sweet.
He was a wonderful person and made everyone comfortable. He will be missed. Calvin really liked the song Shanty by Jonathan Edwards. We used to play that one too. RIP Calvin.

Calvin was a consummate musician. He played several times for our company Christmas parties and was always a big hit. He always had a big smile for us when he came into our store, and everyone loved him.
Rest in Peace, Calvin.
