Danny Stewart Obituary, Death – In the 1960s, Danny Stewart began traveling to Camden so that he could spend time with his sisters, Mona Stacey and Betty Morgan. He wasn’t much of a hunter or fisherman, but he was the very first musician we’d ever met, and he never left the house without the instrument he always carried with him. One of the events that stands out to me as one of the most endearing ones involving Danny is the time when he first acquired his amp.
On the public square in front of the Camden courthouse, where we were all assembled, Danny wished to give us a demonstration of how it worked, but in order to do so, he needed an outlet. The only thing that was asked of us was to leave Mr. Lummie’s office, go outside, open the window from the outside, and plug the amplifier in. My very first concert was in this area of the square. In the region around the Gulf Coast.
Danny was universally considered as being among the most talented singers and entertainers there has ever been. In the 1980s, he was a member of the Kendall’s and went on tour with them. Along the way, he played a few shows at Big Daddy’s Lounge and The Caravel. Even more impressive, he went on tour with the Kendalls. Danny never stopped being enthusiastic about music, despite the fact that as he got older he became more established in his life.
Before he became ill, he was a frequent performer at the nearby Legion Hall, where he sang and played the guitar. Before his illness, he was a regular. There are a lot of pleasant memories connected to my good friend. My heartfelt condolences go out to Bettie, Mona, Kelli, Jenn, and Kelsey, as well as the rest of the family. Shane and Kelsey are in my thoughts and prayers.
