RIP, indeed. This music has been part of the soundtrack of my life for the longest. I posted this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD9Ku5qEPjQ
on my Facebook page last night to remember him by. This is not the kind of thing that most folks will remember him for, but just as powerful, I think.
Thanks Gil, I will always remember your help in getting me thru at Lincoln .As we always said “this is for the brother who is not here tonight” peace .
