I Had not konwn Gil Die. (I Will miss Him.) The 1# Time I Seen Him was in 1989
I Had a Job at the Ft,Dopont Sunmer Theater.it was Hot. he come up to me and
and as me for some H20, So I Went To the Ave to Get it. it was a long Walk,But
went I Got back, Gil Gave Me 50$ For Going for Him.But I Gave It Back To Him And Said it cool. I was going anyway. On The same night we had a ball.One Of His
Jam's he Call Me Up On The set, And as Me To Play." And It was So Dane Cool."
Those of us who got to see him there last year were incredibly lucky. I remember my buddy wanted to leave because we were standing so close to one of the speakers. I wanted to stay so badly through the set, but he was starting to feel weak. I caught maybe half his set. One if the most beautiful and soothing voices to grace Coachella. I can't believe this :(
