Bernie here. Wanted to share a photo sent to me a few days ago by my brother, Bill, that really got my attention. Since we lost our Matt a while back I jumped to the conclusion this photo was from years ago. But the fellow he's with in the photo was performing in an Allman Brothers tribute band in Okoboji a few nights ago, and it turns out his name is Matt. What an eerie but happy coincidence, since this is very much the way I remember Matt Schnurr.
Then I recalled that, as I was leaving Matt's "celebration of life" gathering three days before he died, my parting words to him were that, if it turned out to be possible, I thought he should come back and mess with us a bit, you know, tip a chair over, knock some books off shelves. Let us know you're around. I'd say he went above and beyond with this, however. Atta boy, Mattie!
