"The Tennessee Mafia Jug Band family is saddened to share that our dear Lester has crossed over. It is now a joyous day for him as he has surely been welcomed warmly to Heaven, but a heartbreaking day for those of us who had the honor of knowing him, working with him, loving him, dancing and playing with him. Please remember our family in your prayers. And please know what great joy YOU gave to him every day by allowing him to entertain you." This is from the TMJB Facebook page.

	Tom Smith says: 5/4/2014 5:32:25 AM A couple of excerpts from an online story about Lesters passing. "In the wake of Mr. Armistead’s death, (Marty) Stuart recalled the time he took actor/musician Billy Bob Thornton to “Lester’s Loafin’ Lounge.” “I told Billy Bob to wait until he heard that voice,” Stuart said. “Lester let out that foghorn tenor and just leveled the room. Billy Bob melted and said, ‘That’s the greatest thing I ever heard.’” and ... “Lester always said there were three places a hillbilly wanted to perform — at Carnegie Hall, the Grand Ole Opry and The Kennedy Center — and we made two out of three,” Webb posted on his Facebook page. “That ain’t bad.” We'll miss you Lester. tennessean.com/story/news/2014.../8657883/
