Thread Name: Obit: Forrest Rose
Subject: RE: Obit: Forrest Rose
I am among the fortunate who can say they were in a band with Forrest (mudbugs). I made the mistake of pissing him off once. He cut me down to size. He said "if you were half as good as you think you are, you would be making twice as much money". ouch.
last time I saw Forrest was 6 weeks ago. He came to see the Baitshop Boys. He told me he sent a gig my way and complemented me. He said" you really spoiled me Steve...your rythm is right in the pocket", then he tipped the band. A very sweet last memory for me...perfect.
Forrest was the hub of a wheel and those that revolved around him are blessed.
