Bob
Brannon
(1950-2009), bass player for fragile lime, passed away this week. He
still
had his bass guitar that he played for Fragile Lime, and up until
sickness
got the better of him, he regularly pulled it out and played endless
numbers
of songs that he still knew from memory.
After Fragile
Lime
he moved to Arizona where he got married to Jana Treichler and had two
daughters, along with two sons from a previous marriage. He
regularly
shared his love of music to all around him. He will be missed.

Brannon-
Dalton, December 2009
My name is Jeff Gilpin from
Snohomish,
WA. I was the original lead guitar player for the band, The
Fragile
Lime 1966-67.
I was drafted into the Army the
summer
of 1967. Howard Wiebe took my place.
The band was originally called The
Family
Dog then subsequently became the fragile lime , I did the studio guitar
work on the songs "Fairyland (when I was a little man)" and "I Know
What
It Is", recorded at Kearney Barton's Seattle studio. Iit
was
produced by Bill Frederick and released on Sabrina Records.
Jeff Gilpin, December 2013
I did play trumpet and valve trombone
on
their records. The sax player was Don McKinney (of Don and
the Goodtimes) who produced the sessions and managed Superband and The
Fragile Lime.
