A trumpet tech that has worked on many of my trumpets knew him quite well . I had once aspired to take a few trumpet lessons from Mr, Gillette but I missed the bus and waited too long to sign up with him at that time when he had openings in his busy schedule. A sad day for sure . I send my sincere respect . Wolf jcdlc72 Senior Member Username: jcdlc72 Post Number: 464 Registered: 11-2009 Posted on Tuesday, January 19, 2016 - 12:26 pm:    Oh my....

Somehow in 2016 the 60's age decade is not a good one to be in ! peoplechipper Senior Member Username: peoplechipper Post Number: 655 Registered: 2-2009 Posted on Saturday, January 23, 2016 - 8:05 pm:    I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm getting a bit afraid of who's next... terryc Senior Member Username: terryc Post Number: 2458 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Sunday, January 24, 2016 - 2:41 am:    Just seen that Jimmy Bain former bass player with Rainbow has died !
