“I knew Gaylan for over 35 years. He was an incredible musician and an amazing friend and human being. The world is much emptier without him.”

Jean Cockrell wrote a sympathy message

“Devastated to hear of Gaylan’s struggle! I thank him for: playing at my CA son’s wedding, years of hospitality, sharing songs in progress (When Cowboys Fly), many airport runs, Sequoia’s (now 15) first tot bike, for years of beguiling and humoring fans, and being steady at times when the Folk music world wasn’t quite steady!!. I’ll think of him when I hear “Rag Time Cowboy Joe,” and loop “Those Crazy Days.” TO: Lockford sausages, BBQ oysters, and awe that he could eat jalapeño salad!”
