RIP Alto Reed, sax player for Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band

Time for one of the great sax players to Turn the Page.

Somewhere I have a picture of him wailing away as he strutted past me at a concert at the Oakland Arena. I guess hopping off the stage and playing his solo while walking around in the audience was a thing for him.

Please tell me that’s his real name

Nope, that would be too cool. It was Thomas Neal Cartmell. He also played with the Blues Brothers and Grand Funk Railroad among a list of many others.
