We lost another musician yesterday. Wally Schwartz, leader of the Sunland Dance Band (Red Mountain Senior Center (now Aster) on every Wednesday afternoon and Granite Reef Senior Center on many Thursday afternoons, and for many years part of Burgie Crandall’s Lets Dance Band on Tuesday afternoons at the Mesa downtown Senior Center.

Here’s a picture of him with our own beloved Betty Page at a Thursday dance.

He will be missed. I hope we still have bands when this pandemic is over!

Condolences can be sent to Sharon Schwartz
