Read MoreIt has been over 50 years since Gil saved my students and me from what could have been a disastrous event by sending us on a trip to Europe that had been cancelled by a pair of charlatans.

I knew Gil first as his student and then as a staff member at ALSG. He was truly one of the smartest and most unique person I will ever have the honor to meet. I was thinking about old friends today so looked him up online. Its hard to imagine he isnt walking on the beach anymore.

Very sad to hear about the passing of Gil.

I was just reading his Rolling Stones writings on the website, enjoying the immensely as a huge Stones fan. Wondered what had ever happened to Gil, and found the obituary. So sad. Never knew him but loved his writing. Thank you for hosting the Stones back in those crazy summer of '81 days.

Just learned of Gil's death on Facebook.So sorry to hear as I was in touch on Studio owner's site briefly with Gil as I used to go to Longview with the Chapin's band in the early 70's as my-ex Rich Look was in Mt Airy. Gil was as full of life as ever it seemed so I am shocked to hear this.a very special human being in the music business. My sincerest condolences.
