The Frontier Times Museum will honor local musician Lee Harmon at this month’s 4th Sunday Jamboree. Harmon passed away earlier this year in a car accident, and friends and local musicians will hold a tribute session for the late musician on Sunday, March 24. Lew Pewterbaugh will host.
The musicians will gather on the stage of the Texas Trail Drivers Theatre, a stage Harmon built by hand on the museum’s side lawn. Harmon wanted a venue for local musicians to be able to gather in a traditional pickers circle.
“Lee was always promoting local music and the museum. When he used to play on Main Street as part of the Cowboys on Main program, he would come up to the museum after he was done, plop down in a chair and give our guests a private show, just playing his guitar and singing in that beautiful deep voice,” Museum Director Rebecca Norton said.
Harmon was a regular host of the museum’s 4th Sunday Jamboree before moving to Odessa. He was not only a performer, but also wrote original song lyrics which he recorded on several CDs. Lee always wanted to share his music which can be heard through his website www.geckallo.com.
The show will go on from 1 - 4 p.m., and is free and open to the public. Everyone is encouraged to attend and remember Harmon, who did so much for promoting local music and Bandera.
The museum is at 510 13th Street.
