Burt “Sal” Wilson Tribute (1955-2023)

- Burt Wilson, also known as "Sal" or "Bubba Whoopass" Wilson was a man of many names and talents.
Wilson was a founding member of the band Clutch - a 1950s cover-band that played in the Louisiana crawfish circuit plus larger venues in Florida, Georgia, and other locales around the South. He often embodied a nerdy Boy Scout character during his performances with Clutch and had once heard the name Salvador and decided "that's my nerd name." The name stuck.
In our circle, we remember him fondly as the one and only voice the Fatz Geronimo. After his time voicing Fatz, Wilson continued on to play music throughout the rest of his life. He will missed by friends, family, and the thousands of fans of his work.
Although we can never repay Sal for the countless memories he's given us, we wanted to pay tribute to a man who's body of work has meant so much to so many people.
Thank you to ShowBizMidwest and Juju Magumbo for the footage used in this video, and thank you to Burt "Sal" Wilson for your gift of music that will live on forever.
His death was so sudden and was too soon. Rest in Peace Burst Wilson, may your name and legacy live on.
RIP SAL. That voice WAS the voice of the RAE! I was surprised to hear he had just passed. The way Aaron Fechter cried and talked about "missing him" in that 2008 documentary made it sound like he was already gone.
He was gone from my life due to his hard feelings towards me. But, I never stopped loving him, and we thankfully reconciled in 2019.
@@therockafireAaron I am so sorry for the loss of your friend burt. I am a huge new gen Rockafire fan. I’m torn to shreds by this devastating tragedy. I love the Rockafire explosion. Hope you and the other Rockafire members are doing well
@@therockafire Aaron, I am so glad to hear that you guys were able to reconcile. Life flies by and for some of us whatever is next is frightening due to the unknown. It's all about love. I am so envious you got to do such fun work that has touched millions of people. You guys got to live the dream together. The fun you had and the bond you shared was so powerful that it still has a strong legacy to this day. Do whatever you can to reconcile with anyone else you love. Easier said than done, I know. It's an honor to be able to communicate with you. Someday I'd love to see your work in person. Thank you for everything you've done for the world! I am one of your biggest fans.

Rest in Peace; Burt Wilson the Fatz Geronimo of SAL, we will not forget you.
One less Sal in the world. Rest in peace Burt, you won’t be forgotten.
R.I.P Burt he lived a good life
RIP to him. Though what explained the period when Aaron Fector took over for a while? Did he and Burt had a disagreement with each other, or did he wanted a break or retired? Like Jeremy Blaido did with his brief break with Jasper T. Jowls?
Yes. Sal and I had a breakup in the early 2000's that lasted quite a while. It seemed permanent by the time the documentary was filmed aroun 2008 but, thankfully, we reconciled in 2019. You can see the first part of a five part series today of that reconciliation at ruclips.net/video/3COuhswldyY/видео.html
@@therockafire OK that explains it. Thank you for answering.
RIP 😢

R.I.P.
Rest in peace burt. Fly high dude.
rest in peace burt wilson 🕊❤
Rest in piece.
Wait no. I just cannot believe he's gone. I reached out to Aaron Fechter back in October because I wanted to show him a song I was writing, which contained a short instrumental segment from the end of the 1983 "Sixteen Tons" recording. He told me it was "fantastic" and said he would show it to Sal, who he was sure would be proud. To this day I'm not sure if he ever got the chance to hear it.
Rest in peace Mr. Wilson.
Rip burt you will always be known as my favriote gorilla in history
