Forum VIP Dr. Vapor Posted May 5, 2013 Forum VIP Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Kevin Rosen is hangin up his bass for now with Dark Star Orchestra....and believe it or not I am very happy for him. He knows when he needs a break to heal and to be there for his mother when she needs him most. Wow how many of us can say that... But I will still miss the following from my friend,,,,his smile, his humor, his wit, he can do a crossword puzzle in 10min or less...his purple laces on his white tennis shoes, his jokes, his simplicity about life, his view from the outside, his stories, his bass bombs, his hip shake during Bertha, Coca Cola sales are going to drop. I am luck y to have spent more than 12 years watching him perform and laugh and cry with him over friends... I will miss him but somehow I know I will out front of the Vic one night and a 1979 Caddy will pull up with his smile in it..

Forum MVP 2muchfun Posted May 10, 2013 Forum MVP Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Having seen approx 200 shows over 14 years there are still some days between that seem to go agonizingly slow. Countless times when I arrived at the venue after a long layoff the site of the bus and invariably Kevin smoking a cig (sometimes would join him before I quit) nearby with the smile and a wave or hello that gave that special feeling that I was back were I belong....and damned happy. Yes I will miss that and Kevin dearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrentFan Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 his smile, his humor, his wit, he can do a crossword puzzle in 10min or less...his purple laces on his white tennis shoes, his jokes, his simplicity about life, his view from the outside, his stories, his bass bombs, his hip shake during Bertha, Coca Cola sales are going to drop. Couldn't have summarized what I will miss any better. Dark Star Orchestra was my very first concert ever back in 2002, and a year or 2 later, Kevin was my very first introduction to the band members. One night in VT during a NYE run, we slipped a crossword puzzle under his door, with a note "Room 305, if you want more", and as Dr. Vapor pointed out, he was done with that crossword in about 10 min and was knocking at our door. Kevin has been nothing but friendly and caring during my time spent with the DSO family and I will miss him greatly! So many fond memories of him on stage, and for that I am thankful. I wish him and his family all the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
