RIP Bennie Pete

We lost a great tuba player from the Hot 8. Love listening to their music and his bass lines ...https://www.rollingstone.com/music/musi ... t-1221267/

Rolling Stone just can’t help itself. :facepalm2:

This is so sad. Got to see him perform a few times.
Spoke with him briefly once. Really kind, sweet man.
I heard from other musicians who knew him well that he was really a positive force on the scene.
