It’s been a tough week. The MUG joins the rest of Montana music community in mourning for the passing of Pinky and The Floyd’s band leader / keyboard maestro Joe Kirchner last weekend in Bozeman. A huge talent, and universally loved, who gave so much enjoyment to so many. Godspeed, Joe – we wish you were here.
