In the passing of beloved Brother Merl Saunders, the rain forest and her people truly sing the blues.We pray for Merl, for his eternal soul to rest in the peace of God's Grace, uncreated Light and Spirit. He has brought much joy to the world through his music and life. I am honored and thankful to have him as a brother, friend and to have played the blues in the rain forest's with him. He will be missed, but his Spirit and music always will be felt!!!!

May God bless his soul. I pray for all of us. Amen Muruga Booker (a/k/a Fr. Steven Bookvich)
