With heavy hearts, the remaining 5 members of SIX paid musical tribute to their keyboard player, Wendell E. Wickerham on February 11th, 2009. Wendell died suddenly on February 4. At his memorial at the First Congregational Church in Winchester (where over 500 family and friends gathered), SIX performed "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" (one of the songs we had been working on to perform as a band for the first time), "Soul Kitchen" (featuring a signature keyboard intro - handled by Bruce Lauterwasser on this occasion), and "So You Want to be a Rock and Roll Star" (because Wendell would've wanted us to "rock the house"). Wendell will be remembered as one of the good ones...
"Don't forget who you are - you're a rock and roll star."
A video collage in Wendell's memory was recently put on YouTube:
