Weldon, Sorry to hear about Russ.
I met him through his brother Jack,He was a great guy and a wonderful musician.
I believe he owned & operated his own music school. He'll be missed.

I recall Russ receiving kudos on the forum a couple of years ago.

Time is not on our side.

R.I.P. Russ

A colleague of mine at the school where I teach was taught guitar a long time ago by Mr. Faith. He was very sad to hear of his passing, as am I. I think I remember meeting Mr. Faith's mother a while ago in the record store I go to in Philly.

Wow! Almost everyone in the music business worked with Russ Faith. It's almost like he's famous in his own right.
