My guitar teacher, Greg Moore, died suddenly on August 28th...he was in the hospital for about a week with severe stomach pains...apparently it was acute paratonitis ( not sure on the spelling)...they could not control the infection...it spread to his liver and kidneys and eventually his heart stopped...he was 60 years old...he had played with Frank Sinatra, Louis Prima and the Diamonds....he started playing professionally at the age of 13...he also produced and wrote songs....Thelma Houston, and Bob Dylan were some of his clients...

I had a lesson with him 3 days before he collapsed and was taken to the hospital...

I will miss him
