Scott’s love for Christ was heard by the music he played, by the songs he wrote, and the local bands he played with, a contemporary Christian band Janitors Heart and gospel bluegrass group Country Christians. Scott was an avid Beatles fan so for the last verse to his song, the family requests that you share in his appreciation for the Beatles at both the visitation and service.
