My very old and dear friend Joe Smith (a.k.a. Mr. Gurglesnort) has passed away yesterday.
Sorry to hear that.
We had talked in the past, I think I sent him some old recordings, Felix Doran I believe. One of his last posts on this forum was a call for me to talk to him. I got very selfconcious being called out like that, out of the blue and in public. I wondered why he didn’t just send a message and waited for him to make a move, which he didn’t. I never found what that was about.
Sorry to hear this. Joe was a nice guy and very passionate about piping and reed making.
My condolences.
I never had the chance to interact with him personally, but I learned from his posts when reading through older threads.
Very sorry to hear this sad news. May he rest in peace.
Patrick.
Rest in peace
Others seemed to have trouble reeding my Ginsburg C chanter, but for Joe it was a snap. We have lost a wizard.
Rest in peace, Joe.
Joe used to be a MAJOR contributor on here. Sorry to hear he’s gone.
