Would you like to post something here?

If you have any connection to the San Francisco Bay Area music scene, Beserkley Records, Rather Ripped Records, KSAN, etc. during the 60s, 70s and 80s, you've probably heard of or met Gary Phillips, a.k.a. Gary Philippet.

Or you may have known Gary from Spokane or

RIP

Dear Friends:
I knew Gary during the Beserkeley days. My band, the Young Adults, opened an Earthquake show at Keystone Berkeley in 1978 or so. Gary was always a big fan of the Young Adults and very encouraging about our musical efforts. I always enjoyed talking to him and while we were not close friends I remember his warm smile and easy going nature with great fondness. I recently reconnected with many friends from those days and was saddened by the news of his passing. My heart goes out to his family and friends. I was hoping we'd be able to reconnect through the Facebook Berkeley Punks pages. He's now part of the big endless song and I'll listen for his music when I go to sleep tonight.
Peace
