Title: Another one gone
Post by: cozmik_cowboy on September 19, 2022, 09:24:51 PM

Got my new issue of Vintage Guitar today, and learned that legendary Wrecking Crew (if you'll pardon the redundancy) guitarist Bill Pitman passed away August 11 from complications of a spinal fracture suffered in a fall.  He was a mere 102 years old - and according to his wife until very recently regularly playing both golf & guitar.

By golly, that is a pretty good run. If I knew I could live to 102, (which seems less likely every day...) and still be active... shoot. I'd take that gig, fall and all. May he get some Rest in Peace after a life apparently well-lived.
