Musician friends and family. This is Larry’s daughter, Heidi. He asked me to manage his account a couple years ago when the ability to be a luthier was strained due to his health. Yet his connection with his clients, friends, and fellow music lovers was sacred.

My friends, we lost the OG medic this week and through my own tears and grief I hear music. The music I danced to as a little kid, the music I tried to play as an adolesent, and the music I hear today that brings me right beside him at the very first key.

Knowing I wanted to say sometime to this community he trusted me with, and maybe one I have neglected over the past year knowing he could no longer care for your guitars like he wanted to, I’m at a loss. So I turned to one of his most beloved artists and I leave you with these lyrics.

The man you call The Medic, a friend, a musician… I call Dad. He climbed every mountain turned around and climbed it again for me, my brother, and each of you.

Rest in music my sweet Dad.
