Tony Peluso, the lead guitarist with the Carpenters for 12 years has passed away June 5. He is best remembered on the 1972 power ballad “Goodbye to Love,” where he conceived and played the masterful, melodic solo and outro. This has long been my favorite Carpenters song and the solo never fails to bring back those painful teenage breakup memories. More on the songs history here.

I met Tony at 17 and by marriage became "related." He was a sweetheart who loved family, music and God…talented his whole life. I am glad he was able to leave a legacy to those like you and me…we will all miss him.
