I have been one of the lucky uglies that has had the chance to play with not only a great twanger, but one that was a very close personal friend of mine.

He has been battling a bad ticker since childhood and had went on for his third open heart surgery since childhood. The surgery went well and we all thought the band would be back in action in a six months.

Well sadly things have not worked out the way we thought they would. My closest friend and fellow musician passed away on Saturday due to complications. He will be sorely missed but never forgotten.

The remaining members of the band are going to perform Wish You Were Here and an original tune that he wrote at his funereal and then it looks the band will be done.

He held us together, dorve us, mediated the arguements and made us what we were. It is a very empty feeling.

My condolences as well - but I wouldn't write off the band. I don't know anything about him, but by the way you speak of him, he seems like the kind of person that would have wanted you guys to go on. Immortalize him and keep his legacy alive through his music!!!

Damn man, is it me or does it seem like god takes all the good ones? I'm sorry to hear about your loss man, it's cool that you guys are playing at his funeral though, I know I would want that when I die and I think it's a great way to remember him by.

I feel for you, my fellow ugly. Losing a friend is one of the worst things to go through... Stay strong, and carry on.

I also lost my best friend (since '84 or so) and twanger 3 years ago. He was 30, and died in his sleep in his recliner one night for no explainable reason.

I truly do understand what you are going through, and I am very sorry for you.

I cried off and on for about a week (and I am not one to cry), and there are not too many weeks that go by I don't wonder what he would have thought about something or another. But the pain does fade with time...sure, there are moments of sadness still, but it does get better man...

hang in there

Bongo, his name was Scott L Schucht. And no finer human being could youi ever hope to know.
Damage, my sympathies to you. I know time heals but it still sucks. I know he is in a better place setting up our gear and waiting for us to show.

Thank you all for thoughts. And even though some like this will happen to all of us, I do not wish it upon anyone, not even my worse enemy.
