Memorial services for Bert F.
Winston, Jr., age 76, who passed away Sunday, March 7,
2010 in a Denver, CO hospital will be held Friday, March
19, 2010, 2pm at Grimes Funeral Chapels, officiated by
Gary Priour. The message came via email from a dear
friend, Tony Galluci. I was shocked and sad, knowing that I
wanted one more conversation with Bert Winston. When I moved
to Kerrville, I heard about this wild man who was passionate
about music, paid a local band to tour Japan, and promoted
musicians every chance he got. Later he put his heart into
the Western Swing of Tommy Morrell, producing albums and
promoting performances. Bert also donated some seed money so
that the Texas Heritage Music Foundation could get a start
here! That was in 1987. I thank him in my heart each time I
open the door of the little rock house on the Schreiner
campus. I was in a donated space at the Inn of the Hills
when Bert gave his support. What a long, strange trip it has
been. My more recent memory of Bert was out at the Hunt
Store. He called me over to his car, putting in a cd for me
to hear. The music of Tommy Morrell. Then, with eyes
shining, Bert started talking about the history of Western
Swing. “You know why Bob Wills didn’t have women in the
band? He said it was like herding cats.” We shared a big
laugh on that one. My hat is off to the huge spirit of this
man who opened his heart to new musicians, songs and people.
He gave his heart in every conversation about music.
Bert Winston…heart and soul! |

Steven
Kincaid of Topsfield, MA recently emailed us about his late
father’s love of country music. His father, William C.
Kincaid, was a big fan of Bob Wills, “The King of Western
Swing.” And each year, on or around his late father’s April
11 birthday, Steve tries to make a donation specifically to
country and western non-profit organizations promoting the
music of Bob Wills. This year, Steven honored the memory of
his late father by donating $100 to THMF. Thank you, Steven,
your father’s memory lives on in the music of Bob Wills and
in the programming we produce for the community each year.
Would you like to honor the
memory of a family member or friend with a donation to THMF?

THMF would like to thank Barbara Zoeller for the donation of
$100 in remembrance of Karen Abrahams’ father Maynard
Abrahams. Karen is a regular performer at the THMF Living
