Eddie Fisher memorial service
set for Saturday, July 14

A musical tribute and "Going Home Celebration" honoring Eddie Fisher will be held at 10 a.m., Saturday, July 14 at the Greater New Hope Baptist Church, 2240 Missouri Ave. in East St. Louis.

In related news, local radio personality and journalist Bernie Hayes remembers the late guitarist in an obituary in this week's editon of the St. Louis American, and Riverfront Times music editor Annie Zaleski notes Fisher's passing in this post on the paper's music blog, A to Z. Zaleski also interviewed Fisher last year in conjunction with the CD reissue of his album The Next One Hundred Years, and you can read that article here.
