Curly Musgrave often performed in the Big Bear Valley with Belinda Gail.
Back in December, Big Bear Lake’s new Mayor Liz Harris adjourned the City Council meeting in memory of Curly Musgrave, a popular entertainer from Crestline who had performed at the Cowboy Gathering and other Big Bear events. The singer, songwriter and cowboy poet will be remembered with a celebration of life taking place on Saturday, January 9 at 10am at the First Baptist Church of Pomona, located at 601 Garey off Main Street. For more information on Musgrave’s life and music, visit the CowboyPoetry.com website; directions to the memorial are also posted on the site’s tribute page to Musgrave.
A celebration of life is also planned for Big Bear Lake resident Ted Fashempour, who passed away at age 56 on January 2. For memorial specifics, see our story on Fashempour.
