I have fond memories of visiting Brandolino’s as a little girl with my Dad Ted Lega. Sandro was always so nice and would give me a kazoo. I would listen to my Dad talk music while I wandered around the shop it was a magical place.
Sending love and prayers to the entire family.

My father Gus Gutierrez and Sandro were best friends who grew up together, going to the same schools, living in the same neighborhood. As adults they did many gigs together, my father taught guitar and bass guitar lessons at Brandolino West Side Music for over 30 years.
I started taking trumpet lessons at seven years old at “Brandolino’s” as we nicknamed it. Every Saturday I would miss Saturday morning cartoons to be with my father at the store from 9 AM until he finished teaching lessons around four or 4:30 PM. I would have my half hour trumpet lesson then I would mess around on the piano and organ and drums and whatever else I could get my hands on in the store. Sandy was so nice and never told me to stop lol.
I remember lessons being five dollars a half hour. Little did I know how much of an impact Sandy would have on my music career, musicianship and being a good person.
Sandie was such a gentleman and I never saw him be unprofessional even in a tough situations. He had a way of keeping my father cool and calm not many people could do that, but it was because they grew up together as best buds from the time. Sandy was about 11 or 12 years old.
The older I get the more I realize how incredibly blessed I was to be in that great environment of people who loved people and music. And not only were they great people, but they were also incredible musicians who taught at the store.
I can’t tell you, Brandolino family how grateful I am to have known Sandro Brandolino he was a key player in helping me develops as a musician. I am today. He had the best teachers in town, teach him at his music store, and everybody in will county wanted lessons at Brandolino’s because the word on the street and everywhere was that this was THE place for lessons and instruments, sheet music, and anything you wanted in music.
Sandy was the best salesman and I would watch him and listen to him the way he interacted with people since I was 7 years old. It is with tears that I write this because I’m so grateful for this man who cared so much about people and who is passion for music, touched tens of thousands of lives or more. It was that positive and encouraging environment, along with the best teachers and instruction that made me who I am today.
So many excellent musicians came out of Brandolino Westside Music but more importantly, everyone, every single person who ever met Sandie always felt better after talking to him, and seeing his big smile and smile in his eyes. What a man, an incredible human being.
Thank you Sandro for your love and inspiration that will never be forgotten. I love you Paisano… now you and my father can jam in heaven together.

Uncle Sandy and Aunt Helen were my mother’s best friends. They welcomed us in their home anytime and any day. Their love of family and friends was endless. They attended our children’s special events through the years. Uncle Sandy wanted the best for our family and shared spirituality throughout our household. His band played for Mary Lou and Leo’s 50th anniversary, which added so much to the event. We have many memories which we will hold dear. Love you, Uncle Sandy
Love,
Jean Giacchino and Nan Ochs
