This past Sunday would have been Matt's birthday, so his family, friends and fellow musicians had a memorial concert and benefit at the Haw River Ballroom in beautiful downtown Saxapahaw. It's a small community north of Chapel Hill on the Haw River. The old textile mill shut down years ago and has been converted into shops and a music venue. Most of the bands that Matt played in performed. Mike played in 3 of them on Sunday...the Kinksmen, the Venables and Stratocruiser. It was a wonderful tribute to a really great guy. It sounds so cliche but Matt was full of life. He was fun-loving and playful. And what you saw was what you got. No pretense whatsoever. He was taken too soon. He is truly missed.
