If Phil chooses to retire, then I say good for him.
I mean, the guy's close to hitting 60, which to me is pretty extreme. He's done so much and could very well be considered one of the busiest guys in music for much of his career.
I know we all want to see the big Gabes reunion, but who's to say Phil can't retire without doing so? I know nobody is disputing that around here, but they are in other places. I'd say we were very gifted to catch him one last time last year, and honestly, for me getting to see him even once was a real gift
It's sad news, but it was inevitable.
