Goodbye, Todd D. "bishop5150" Bishop

Todd's energy and love for music was infectious. Seeing him on Facebook made you just want to pick up your guitar and play. I was fortunate enough to meet him and so many others in this community at Axe-Fest III and the Boston Amp Show a few years back. R.I.P. Todd and rock the heavens!
