Best of the best.

Great, great man and musician. Prayers to his loved ones.
Sad news, indeed. He was a great musician, and I've heard nothing but good words about him. So many great ones leaving us lately. The Angel Band is getting another great member.

One of the best ever and he certainly left us with a wonderful legacy or music that will live on and on.
I like that he was an electric mandolin player as well.
One of my all time idols. And one of the nicest guys. Never saw him without a big smile on his face. Play on brother.

88 is a nice run, and he got to spend his life doing what he loved and what he was very good at. I saw him twice, both times within the last ten years. He and his family band put on a classy show, and the banter onstage was fun to watch. RIP, Mr Gimble.

Oh man, this hurts. But we knew this day was coming. Lighter than air swing and an old-school Texas gentleman. History is still catching up with Johnny Gimble. The quintessential essence of Texas music. Irreplaceable.
Along with Willie and Stevie Ray, Austin needs to make room for a statue.

RIP Johnny, thank you for the music and the memories.
A quarter tone flat and a half a beat behind.
Good bye Johnny. RIP
"Put your hands to the wood
Touch the music put there by the summer sun and wind
The rhythms of the rain, locked within the rings
And let your fingers find The Music in the Wood."
Joe Grant and Al Parrish (chorus from The Music in the Wood)
One of my long time heroes. Sad day indeed.

Thanks for the memories made. We have his recordings and films that future generations can continue to enjoy. RIP
Set aside the time to watch this.
