The memorial service for larger-than-life local musician/writer/photographer/DJ Bob Reuter will be held this Sunday at the Casa Loma Ballroom. For those just joining us, Reuter tragically passed away early last month in a freak accident, falling down an elevator shaft. Big Muddy Records, home to Reuter's most recent band, Alley Ghost, is hosting the event, which promises to be a full-fledged celebration of all of the man's many talents with contributions from a plethora of St. Louis musicians and other artistic types.

Big Muddy has also made the recordings from one of Reuter's earlier bands, Kamikaze Cowboy, available for download on Bandcamp. The cost is set at "name your price" and all proceeds go to the Cowboy Angel Foundation, which was founded in Reuter's name to help disadvantaged artists. Download these recordings now so that you will be able to sing along at the show.
