My Heart Goes Out...

In 2003 when Saltza went to compete in Nashville, we had the privilege of meeting Story Side: B. At the time there were only 2 of them, but they went on to success and still have stayed down to earth. I try to keep in touch as often as I can. Last night, I was shocked to read that they had lost one of their band members. Ron McClelland, SS:B's amazing bass player, was on a cruise with his wife and collapsed while playing basketball. Medics were unable to revive him. The guys have experienced a tremendous loss.


My heart goes out to Ron's wife and family, and of course to his brothers; Lu, Jordan, and Preston. I have seen these guys play a couple times over the last few years and spoke with them afterward, and you can see by the way they relate that they are so much more than band mates...they are family. They will never be the same. Ron will never be forgotten and will always be missed.

My love and prayers go out to these precious people, now mourning the loss of a loved one.

Please send out a prayer for them today.

The road to recovery after this will be a long one, pray for continued strength and that God's sweet grace will carry them through.
