A good friend and blues master has passed on RIP Johnny V
« on: April 03, 2013, 07:49:06 pm »
A good friend of mine and Juno award winning Blues guitarist has passed away.He was 59.
  He and I designed and built amps we called V-Verbs.

The attachment is at a bluesfest in Calgary I believe. I miss him a lot :(

He's survived by his son James and wife Deb. His son is a world-class drummer.

I feel sorry for the loss of your friend. Its hard when friends pass on.

Keith,

I know you are a pretty relational guy and really have enjoyed the music community and the good friendships that you have up there.

I am sad that you lost your good friend. I can remember your development of the V-verb and your comments on how he helped with input on that great amp.

With respect, Tubenit

Sorry for your loss. 59 is way too young to move on.
