Walter “Bear” Zaremba was a popular member of the Cat Bird Cafe.  He passed away a few weeks ago.  A memorial “Catbird Cafe” was held in his honor on Father’s Day.  Friends, family and fans attended from all over the East Coast.  One friend said, “Bear will be remembered for his music.  He loved to play and with anyone, expert and novice alike.”  He will be missed greatly.  He embodied the spirit of the Center and its welcoming embrace to all people, and all living creatures!

Below Bear plays opposite Matt Reisman in a “Deliverance” style guitar duel.  Bear matched simultaneously Matt’s notes by watching his fingers race across the guitar strings.
