Tower of Power trombonist Mic Gillette, 64, suffered a fatal heart attack Sunday.
 
Peter (Who's really getting tired of this....)

That is really sad! 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 .

Oh my.... Definitely not a nice beginning of a year...

Add to that Mott the Hoople's drummer Dale Griffin at 67.
Somehow in 2016 the 60's age decade is not a good one to be in !

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm getting a bit afraid of who's next...

Just seen that Jimmy Bain former bass player with Rainbow has died !
