DAVE MCKEOUGH IS BEING REMEMBERED AS A GREAT HUSBAND, FATHER AND MUSICIAN WHO WAS A MASTER AT PLAYING AND TEACHING GUITAR.
THE 46 YEAR OLD NORTH SYDNEY MAN AND HIS 45 YEAR OLD WIFE DONNA WERE AMONG THE THREE VICTIMS OF A HEAD ON COLLISION THURSDAY NIGHT ON THE TRANS CANADA IN MILLVILLE. MCKEOUGH PLAYED WITH A NUMBER OF PROMINENT LOCAL MUSICIANS, INCLUDING JIMMY RANKIN, IAN AKER AND THE LEGENDARY MATT MINGLEWOOD, WHO WAS DEVASTATED TO HEAR OF DAVE'S PASSING. "I JUST DID A CHRISTMAS TOUR," SAYS MINGLEWOOD,"AND HE PLAYED MANDOLIN, STEEL, ELECTRICAL GUITAR, ACOUSTIC GUITAR...IT WAS BEAUTIFUL...SANG...INCREDIBLE. I THINK I CAN PROBABLY SPEAK FOR ALL THE MUSICIANS THAT KNOW DAVE. THEY HAVE TO BE AS HEARTSICK AS I AM...AND HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE...JUST DEVASTATING." ADDS MINGLEWOOD "GOD LOVE HIM,HE'S PLAYING IN THE BIG BAND IN HEAVEN NOW."
