"To the living, I am gone,
To the sorrowful, I will never return,
To the angry, I was cheated,
But to the happy, I am at peace,
And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot speak, but I can listen.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you stand upon the shore gazing at a beautiful sea,
As you look in awe at a mighty forest and its grand majesty,
As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity,
Remember me.
Remember me in your heart;
Your thoughts, your memories,
Of the times we loved,
The times we cried,
The times we fought,
The times we laughed.
For if you always think of me,
I will never have gone."
(by: Margaret Mead)

Though I may no longer walk beside you, I am not truly gone. In the quiet moments of your life, when you marvel at the beauty of a sunrise or lose yourself in the stillness of nature, I am there.

I live in the memories we created—the laughter we shared, the tears we shed, the love we gave so freely.

I may not speak, but my presence lingers in your heart, whispering through the things that once brought us joy.
Hold onto those memories, for they are where I dwell, and as long as you carry me within you, I am never far away. Mitra ➡ Tips That Change Your Life ❤☀ 🙏

SECOND EDIT: We appreciate that there are many, many people who wish to sing in honor of John. The Celebration of Life is being organized in accordance with Mike’s wishes, and time that night just can’t accommodate all the musicians from the Acoustic Stage, Lundyville Players and karaoke. There will be some opportunities for people to sing with the band, which will be playing from 7:00 to 9:30 (with time for a break). If YOU wish to do this, please contact the band BEFORE the day and make arrangements directly with them. Let’s all remember that we will be there to comfort Mike and the family as well as celebrate our friend’s life in the way that he wished.

EDIT: As of now, all open spots have been filled. Anyone else reaching out will be paired with another musician or invited to play with the band after the ceremony, or possibly as people are arriving. John was very loved, and we are SO grateful for our musicians for stepping up to honor him!

To our Lundyville musicians: Mike wants John’s favorite music at his celebration, and the Lundyville Players will be there as well as some of the Acoustic Stage musicians. If you also would like to perform, please message this page with your name, email and cell number so coordinator Angel can contact you. There is limited space in the evening. No karaoke machine is available, live music only.

This article was problematic in that it got Mike’s name wrong and didn’t give him nearly enoucredit….but it DID capture the flavor of Lundyville!

Lundyville Music Hall By Donna Kelly Angel Fraley smiled broadly, stepped up to the microphone, strummed her guitar, and belted out a rousing rendition of “Me & Bobby McGee” suitable to make Janis Joplin proud. When she finished, the silent audience of 50 or so seated in Lundyville Music Hall er...

From Randall Hughes, one of our longtime Acoustic Stage performers:

“Since learning John’s passing, I’ve been trying to formulate the perfect combination of words (to relay how I feel). I don’t know that I can, so I’ll just start typing.
I don’t ‘do facebook’. But, (using my wife’s account) I’ve read many of the heartfelt, and beautifully written, comments that have preceded mine. It’s obvious so many lives were touched by John’s time here (in what we conceptualize as ’life’): The magic moments of existence we are aware of, and sometimes mistakenly think we control.
One way to think of it is each of us are in our on boats, and individually we are traveling along the river of time. As our boats near each other (in the current) we can interact (or not). We can make each other’s journeys better (or not). We can be happy (or not). We can make the world better (or not). John always made my journey better (with every encounter we had).

Those of us affected by John’s passing have our own reasons for being so. We (all) see the world through our own eyes. I can honestly say so many of the same wonderful things expressed in the prior comments of others. But, I will leave all those things as ‘a given’.

Debbie and I went to see John (in the hospital) a few days before he passed. The effects of his treatments were wearing on him, but he was still John. We talked. We laughed. We cried. When we prepared to leave, he insisted he walk us to the elevators. But before he could go anywhere though, he had to unhook tubes, cords, and move several things around. While doing all that he managed to tangle everything up. It looked like a Helen Keller crochet experiment went terribly wrong. It was funny. He finally got the tangled trotline Rubik’s cube cluster sorted, and we walked to the elevators. Along the way he joked with a few nurses.
Although I spoke with him by phone later, our last in-person moments were full of smiles and laughter.

A large portion of our hospital conversation was John expressing how worried he was about Mike. He was very concerned about Mike’s future wellbeing. Although no one could foresee what would happen, John knew his prognosis wasn’t good. More than anything else, John wanted Mike to be OK.

So, I think the most important thing I can do here is to say to Mike - John Loves You! He wants you to be OK! He told me so. He told Me. So, Mike don’t worry too much about the future (right now), just the next 10 minutes. Then, repeat. John loves you. He told me so.

From Janet, Lundyville Music Hall volunteer.....Mike and John have been an important part of our community for many years. I met them when they held the first Songwriter's Contest in 2011 with Phil Schneider (my husband) winning first place. Afterwards, Mike and John asked Phil to host a music night and the Acoustic Stage was born. From "just" 2 guys I'd see at the Music Hall, they quickly became very close friends--just as they did for many of you. Lundyville was like the old sit-com "Cheers," where everybody knew your name. There were no strangers.

If you have pictures to share of John and Mike, please post them for all to remember.

It is with great sorrow we have to say goodbye (for now) to a wonderful soul. John passed away early this morning. For those that have not been following, John was diagnosed earlier this month with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a very aggressive cancer. He was up for the battle but God had other plans for him, way sooner than any of us would have hoped or even expected. Our family appreciates all of the love and support that has already come our way. We will get back to all the missed calls and messages when possible.

When you think about the last 16 years at Lundyville, one can't disregard the enormous effect this little 1200 square foot building had in our local music scene. 1000's of people passed through to get music fix , practice, stage experience or just take in a good show. And their have been so many good if not great shows. It will all be sadly missed and it's closing will be felt like a long lost friendship. It's hard to have come to this reality, but we are so proud, not being musicians ourselves, to have been honored by the artists to be able to give them the space and place to get in touch with a intimate setting to play, sing or dance.
Loved every moment of the privilege.
Mike and John

Beautiful Memories.
Over the years we certainly had some fantastic times at Lundyville Music Hall.
Starting off as a simple pot luck dinner to full fledged small local venue inspired by Bonnie McMillan and Larry Bryson. Let's take a look back and see some of the fun things done over at Lundyville - Lake Juliana Boating & Lodging .

”Once upon a time wasn’t singing a part of everyday life as much as talking or physical exercise or religion? Our distant ancestors, wherever they were in this world, sang while pounding grain, paddling canoes or walking long journeys.

Can we make our lives once more all of a piece? Finding the right songs and singing them over and over is a way to start. When one person taps out a beat while another leads into the melody, or when three people discover a harmony they never knew existed, or a crowd joins in on a chorus as though to raise the ceiling a few feet higher, then they also know there is hope for the world.”
