Amid the distinctive sound of John D’earth’s trumpet, scores of fellow musicians and friends paid tribute last Friday to the life of the late Johnny Gilmore, who died in an October 22 fire, with a musical procession along Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall. In the audio captured at the November 6 event, Todd Ely explains a little of why Gilmore was so popular.
Great send off. Johnny may you find peace. We are blessed to have John D’earth in our community. I’ll bet he had a lot to do with organizing this. I love you John !
