NAMM industry tribute honored David Crosby and others

ANAHEIM, Calif.- The National Association of Music Merchants show, known as NAMM took place in Anaheim, California earlier this month.

On the first day of the show, NAMM hosted an industry tribute honoring those who died in the past year.

The long list included singer-songwriter David Crosby, 81, who considered Santa Barbara County home, and Ventura County's Jeff Slingluff.

Slingluff, 55, worked as Strategic Product Manager for Boss and was the guitarist for the band Royalush.

Both died following complications from COVID-19.

The industry ceremony took place in the lobby of the Anaheim Convention Center on April 13.

The NAMM Show plans to share a link of the tribute for those who couldn't attend.

The following day, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, from Ventura, performed on the Yamaha Grand Plaza Stage.

The band known for playing the Super Bowl XXXIII halftime show in 1999 attracted a crowd.

The NAMM Show will return to January next year. It had been pushed back to the Spring dates due to COVID.
