A tribute to Gilson Lavis from John Bentley

A tribute to Gilson Lavis from John Bentley:

I got some very sad news today.
Gilson was certainly one of the most exciting and innovative drummers this country has ever produced. 
What he accomplished in his life time was astonishing by anybody’s standards.
I am so very grateful and proud to have been given the opportunity to play music with him. 
We shared all the thrills and spills of being the Squeeze rhythm section for years.
The stories he shared with me, are the among the funniest and most shocking rock ’n’ roll tales I’ve ever heard.
They will stay with me forever as a reminder of the unique and extra ordinary Gilson Lavis. 
Rest in Peace Gil

John Bentley
