Pete passed away on Jan. 6th, at the age of 72,  from complications of Alzheimer's disease.  He was a founding member of, and pedal steel guitarist for, the Flying Burrito Brothers .  He also was both a stop motion animator (Gumby)! and a special effects artist ('The Outer Limits' TV show and many films) before entering professional music.  After the Burrito Borthers in the 80's he returned to the field and worked on many major films (Caveman, The Empire Strikes Back, Gremlins, The Right Stuff, Terminator, Terminator 2).

A memorial service for Pete has been scheduled for Saturday Jan. 27th at 4PM at the Hi-Desert Playhouse 61231 Twenty-nine Palms Highway, Joshua Tree, Ca.

What a loss!  The steel guitars on the burrito bros. records is to die for!!

Also, if I'm not mistaken, Sneeky Pete also wrote the theme music to the Gumby cartoon.
