The tentative schedule for the memorial has Doug Gill and Lynn Langham kicking off at 2 p.m., with Gove Scrivenor and Stephen Lee Veal to follow. The Dixie Flyers with special guests Mac Walter, Augie Savage and Holly Shelton, are schedule to go on at 3 p.m. Sonny Throckmorton, Rusty Budde and Rhonda Hart will then play. The Leavin Bro’s (Evans and Charles Davis, David Trice, and Scott McPhearson) will play at 4 p.m., and friends will tell Larry T stories after that.
