George’s worst experience
Age Amaze
It was Charlie Westerfield who died early, 1970ish, not Steve. His funeral was at the Catholic Church near the Domino/Imperial.
John ans Steve Westerfield were brotbers. Charlie was not a Westerfield. Steve Westerfield died early on and as far as we can tell, John is still hangin in tnere. Charlie’s last name is somewhere in here. It comes now and again when I think about him from those times.
Where can I find the poster they talk about with Steve Westerfield in it?
I went to high school with John & knew his older brother Steve. They were both amazing guitar players. Steve died from an OD I recall and John had hard drug problems when we lost touch in the early 70’s. I sometimes think about his guitar playing and it never fails to bring a smile.
