His real name was Thomas Cartmell. He was the sax player in Bob Seger's band. He had been with Seger since 1971 and was a great horn player. It is so sad to see how we keep losing the musicians and bands I grew up listening to and still listen today. Alto was a good man, I am very sorry to hear he is gone.
