Virtual Cammy Weekend

It seems the hits in 2020 just keep coming as we send our condolences and prayers out to the family of Edgar Sevier Justus, III who was the owner and guitarist of Virginia based band, The Rhondels. The notice was made on the band's Facebook page which states: "I am very saddened to announce that Edgar Sevier Justus III passed away this afternoon from a heart attack. Everything that could be done was done and he fought hard. I'll miss him more than any will know. "

Edgar was a great guy and we enjoyed talking to him anytime we had the opportunity. Once service information has been shared, we'll be sure to update this page with that information. Our thoughts and prayers go out Edgar's family, bandmates and friends.

UPDATE: June 1, 2021
We came across a great tribute to Jimmy that we wanted to share with everyone. This was put together by former band members of Jimmy's with "Too Much Fun" in which he was a member for seven years. The video goes on to say: "He sure made us a better band. Jimmy was a fun guy to be around, a great musician and a very fine human being. We will all miss him. We put together a small memorial to him from his years with TMF. The song, "New Toy" was a Jimmy original, and on our first record."

ORIGINAL POST: October 11, 2020

We read the shocking news yesterday afternoon that we lost another Beach Music great, Mr. Jimmy Weaver from Steve Owens and Summertime. So much talent rolled up in one package, it was always great to watch him perform and he was a great friend to so many. According to his website, Jimmy was previously a member of; The Embers, The Main Event Band, The Castaways, Slowhand, Back N' Time and most recently, Steve Owens and Summertime along with the Jimmy Weaver Trio. He also recorded with many other artists and bands across a wide variety of genres.

We've included the original post from the band as well as several videos we've taken the past couple of years below along with his latest single, Runnin' Blue. At the bottom there's also an interview from Johnny's Jukebox on Riptide Radio that John Hall and Jimmy asked us to post for them. Our continued prayers are with Jimmy's family, his Steve Owens and Summertime brothers and all of his friends. He will certainly be missed by so many!

Our prayers and condolences go out to the family of Ronald Watson as well as to the members of Smokin' Hot during this time. In a post on social media earlier this evening, Gary Lowder and Smokin' Hot made the following announcement: "No words can express our sadness right now ..Gary R Lowder and I received the worst possible news a few minutes ago about our amazing Sax player passed away last night RON WATSON . We are devastated, and heartbroken beyond words.... Please keep his wife Theresa and his family/friends in your prayers. Ron had just retired in July of this year and had recently recorded some new music he was so excited about. The SMOKIN HOT FAMILY will truly miss our RON ..he was just not our Sax player he was FAMILY ....WE LOVE YOU RON ..Fly Hi our sweet friend and brother"

Obituary and service information for Ronald can be found here!

We've included the original post below from the band's Facebook page along with a video that was shared on Gary's Facebook page.
