In Memoriam

Gary Shayne

Picture
Gary Shayne attended Spring Sandbridge for many years. Gary loved Spanish guitar music and Brazilian waltzes. Gary motivated Ken to learn and teach a Sandbridge favorite: Saudade de Uberaba. He loved sharing his music with others and performed in the Baltimore area. A student of Ken’s for over 10 years, Ken & Gary also shared their love of soccer. They played soccer on a variety of teams and countless pick-up games for 39 years! Gary was a well-loved physician’s assistant in the Baltimore area. Obituary

Adie Carlyle

Picture
Adie Carlyle attended both Spring and Fall Sandbridge for many years. Adie took fiddle and hammered dulcimer lessons from Ken for many years. Adie donated her instruments to launch The Sandbridge Scholarship Fund. Adie especially loved minor tunes. Ken and Mary Lynn dedicated their composition Out from the Shadows (in Am) to Adie. Adie was often found sharpening her skills on the pool table at Sandbridge! 

Ken Kolodner and Mary Lynn Michal playing Out from the Shadows.

Rosemary Hornak

Rosemary Hornak loved the music of O’Carolan and writing poetry. In addition to attending Spring and Fall Sandbridge for many years, she was a regular at the Swannanoa Gathering. Rosemary was so devoted to Sandbridge! In 2019, Rosemary came up with the idea of an A to Z jam where we had to play tunes following the alphabet in sequence. Obituary 
One of Rosemary's favorites: Loftus Jones, unfinished track from Ken Kolodner & Elke Baker's On a Cold Winter's Day (Dec 2020)

Cobey England

Cobey England attended Sandbridge for just one week (2009) but left his mark. Cobey was notorious for his breakfast of Wheaties sprinkled with peanut M&M’s. Cobey’s love of music was reflected in his non-stop playing at Sandbridge requiring our instituting “The Cobey Rule!!” Cobey was a young man of so many diverse talents and interests (playing the hammered dulcimer, ball-room dancing, riding motorcycles).
