Today I mourn the loss of T-Bone Wolk, a dear friend and jaw-droppingly amazing musician. T-Bone passed away unexpectedly last night.
The most amazing and inspiring musician I have ever known, T-Bone was best known for his role as bassist for Hall & Oates, and the Saturday Night Live Band.
But the “Big Time” was only part of his musical life. A deep appreciator of sharing the love of making music, T-Bone championed a lucky handful of us “Smaller Time” singer-songwriters.
He was incredibly supportive and enthusiastic about my music, and working with him was nothing short of thrilling.
I was privileged to work with T-Bone on three of my CD’s, and one unforgettable live concert. And even more privileged to know him as a dear friend. Deeply kind, hilariously funny, tender and warm, and a rare precious musical talent, T-Bone will be dearly and terribly missed.
Rest in peace, my friend. And, thank you.
RIP, Bone……Man, it was amazing to see you with H&O live in the summer of 2006 in Ontario, Canada!
I’m determined to learn the guitar, and pick away just like you…Thank you for all your magic!
Sincerely,
Jeff Emmerson
Jeff,
T-Bone was a true inspiration to me, and so many other people around the world. Carry it forward, learn guitar.
