We're all very saddened to learn of the passing of RealTracks artist Ramon Stagnaro. I had the pleasure of recording Ramon for Band-in-a-Box several time over the past few years, and he was one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. He has performed and recorded with a huge list of artist such as Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli, Patti LaBelle, Gino Vanelli, Seal and many more. And yet, he was always the most unassuming, humble man. He will be missed greatly by us all.

In this video, Ramon is the featured guitarist with Andrea Bocelli:

What a talented man. Sorry to hear of his passing. His music will live on in new songs as the PG family of users continues to write and record new music using his contributions.

His guitar tracks are some of my favorites and most frequently used. I'm deeply saddened by this news.
