RIP Dave Bourne
Dave "Fess" Bourne was a full-time pianist living in Southern California with his wife, Patty. A trained teacher and the son of a band instructor, Dave's affinity for the music of Bob Nolan began when he joined the Wagonmasters, the singing cowboy group that entertained at Knott's Berry Farm from 1955 – 1968. In 1988 he formed The Lobo Rangers with three of the original Wagonmasters and he continued to perform western music with an emphasis on Nolan compositions. Just before Christmas 2014, Dave recorded the last of Bob Nolan's songs for the website, A Prayer for Christmas Time. We did not realize how ill he was. Dave died on January 30, 2015. We owe him so much. We will miss him greatly.
