Remembering Ed Cherney

“To be open, honest, and giving. If I can manage to do that, every day is an “anything-can-happen-day.”

Ed Cherney shared those words with NAMM in an interview in 2015; the same year, he was honored with the NAMM TEC Hall of Fame Award. He said that was his life’s motto: to be open, honest, and giving. It was this natural humility and kindness, with an innate sense of talent and accessibility that made Ed a beloved – and revered icon – in our community.
