Griffin William Sherry and band. Lauryn Sophia photo When I first heard that The Ghost of Paul Revere had disbanded, sadness followed. I have always been a big fan of their signature sound, closer vocal harmonies and affable members, especially Griffin William Sherry whom I had chatted with many times over the group’s incredible run.
