When I discovered DSO and came onto the scene, I knew of Herdy as a staple who had been around for a while. Although he had stepped back a bit from shows at that time, I was able to meet him and get to know him better over the years. It was such a pleasure every time I saw him. An absolutely hilarious guy and always smelled incredibly good for a hippie. A complete teddy bear. So sad to have lost a brother like that. Truly a great loss to the whole DSO community. I saw him briefly at the last Red Rocks show. I wish I had spoken to him longer. I always feel that way when someone goes. If anything, it is a great reminder to appreciate the ones we have in the moments we have them. RIP Herdy. May your cloudy dreams be real.
