Lloyd Arriola, pianist and conductor, touched the lives of thousands of musicians and friends. His life ended far too soon last weekend, at the age of 43, and tributes have been pouring in across social media.

Now an official tribute page has been started here.

Please add your memories of Lloyd for the benefit of his grieving family and his numerous friends.

Lloyd was an occasional commenter on Slipped Disc. Looking back at his contributions, I cannot find one single post that fails to be generous, gentle and affectionate about his fellow musicians. We shall miss him.

    Speaks volumes for the man – a true gentleman and gentle man.

    “Concert Piece” that he wrote at 14 years of age had a real maturity of sound about it.
