Dearest DSO FAMILY AND FRIENDS,
I have been out of touch for only a week or so and had no idea of what had happened until this morning (Saturday) when I received an email update from JimMiller band(a band DSO had jammed with before).
I am deeply shocked, saddened, and terribly upset. We are so sorry for the whole DSO family and we send our deepest sympathy, condolences, love, and prayers to you all.
Tears of grief and joy roll down my face as I remember our dear brother Scott:
Always first on stage, right over to his organ and keyboards, always with a great big smile, always talked to we dancers up front, always joking and taking our ribbing in recent times about his new hair styles, and always, always, totally deadicated to playin’ with total abandon the whirling dervish of magical music that lifted our spirits higher than any other.
His pure talent created a cavalcade of swirling rhythm which hypnotized us into a state of ecstasy and unadulterated joy. We will truly miss our dear beloved brother Scott, and as I break the news to my daughter, our dancin hippie chick Karrie, she remembers him with fondness and memories of laughter and smiles.
To all the DSO family and band: As the coming weeks ahead test your resolve and see you through the grieving, remember that you are never alone and we are here for support, love, and hugs. You have ALL given SO MUCH of yourselves to us over the years, we have all that love here for you to see you through.
As I go I am comforted in my grieving by the thought that Scott is with his brothers Brent, Keith, and PigPen, jamming in a heavenly mist of vibe and rhythm as they mesh their ivories together for the audiences that have gone before us, up high. LOL.
Peace to you my brother Scott, and don’t let Pigpen give you hassle about your haircut, we think you are the coolest!
ALL OUR LOVE TO YOU ALL
jimi, Karrie, and family
