Last weekend at the Mex Pub with Pacific Disturbance could not have been any more heartfelt, emotional and wonderful.
Jerry (Laser) Leet, who passed away recently, would have been so proud of how his band performed.
They rocked and I am sure that he is smiling down on all of them. The outpouring of love for Laser and his Lady Lonni is truly touching.
Photographs, stories, memories and hugs were everywhere. Tears were shed and laughter shared — and the house was full of dedicated friends, and fellow musicians who danced all night long to their favorite PD tunes.
One of PD’s past bandmates even showed up to join them on stage. Slats rocked right along with them, as did Dan Hawes, the band’s soundman.
A truly inspirational weekend, and a deeply heartfelt sendoff for Jerry (Laser) Leet. Hats off to his band who him showed him what they’re made of — they said several times that he was right there with them. Indeed he was.
He will be sorely missed. The band is going on, adding a new member and keeping a lot of the old tunes and adding some new ones as well.
The name Pacific Disturbance will be laid to rest with Laser. A new name has not yet been decided.
