Gamble was a fine genuine soul searcher who really knew how to captivate and inflame an audiance. He was courtly to women and treated everyone in a gentlemanly fashion. He was a wonderful breath of warm Florida air on many cold chicago winter nights. I'm sure this warmth and dignity is what did him in. He really had no business trying to save those people the state of his own health being what it was. Just a great man. Easy as pie to chat with and really fun to lisen to. Also one of the great finger pickers of the guitar in a Merle Travis style. He was a friend in the truest sense. I feel warm everytime I think about him.

Thanks for the memories,

Luke
