Forum MVP Rude Posted April 24, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 I felt I got to know scott at his birthday bash in Chicago last year. There may have been a few factors involved, but Rob K's eulogy was one of the most emotional talks I've ever heard. I felt like I really missed out on meeting an amazing person who went out of his way to befriend as many people as possible and spread his positive vibes to everyone he touched. It was an amazing speech and it touched me and I took it to heart. I wish that you guys would release that audio track from that 7-3 show. Rob K's eulogy should be heard by people who knew scott as well as those who didn't. It was inspiring and needs to be heard and shouldn't be just for the few who saw it in Chicago. As soon as Rob k finished, I instantly regretted that I didn't have my iPhone recording as I would have been able to spread inspiration for years to come to DSO fans and non fans alike. Please release that audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP PoetryGirl Posted July 3, 2018 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Happy Birthday, Scott. Sometimes those who who live just a short life have a lasting impact. I’ll find a sandwich to eat in Boulder and think of your vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted July 3, 2018 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 So funny, I am eating a sandwich as I read this thread. My favorite memory of Scott is at the Grand Opera House in Wilmington, De. A childhood friend’s parents worked there and let me in to take a peek before the show started. I cracked the door from the lobby into the venue and there’s Scott strolling across the stage, belly button first, while the band is getting everything just exactly perfect before them old doors flew back. He was grinning from ear to ear. That is how I choose to remember him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP chuckvegas Posted July 3, 2018 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 I have a treasured memory from the NYE ‘04 show at Denver. I was actually able to find room to move up close in the Scott Zone and just remember him playing while looking out over the audience. He had the best grin. It spoke volumes.

Forum MVP gr8fulpair Posted July 3, 2018 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Saw him perform one time only, and it was my very first dso show. His energy lured me on the DSO bus, where I currently reside. Been all dragonfly since. I had a boarshead teriyaki chicken, spinach, and multigrain bread for lunch today, in Scott's honor.

As so many had said in the old In Memoriam section for Scott, he helped found something that has grown beyond belief. This is a testament to both the vision and talent shown by the band to this day and to the fans who help carry the torch on this side of the rail. I am blessed beyond words to have known him and to have been welcomed into this family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather Command Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Miss you buddy...he brought so many of us together...a regular guy always wanting to meet the DSO regulars and their friends.....at the time I started seeing DSO in 2001, Scott was dating a bridesmaid that had been in my 1995 wedding...he made it clear to me that he would treat me like family and he always did...wow, brand new in the scene and boom...it was like that! I'll never forget the time..maybe in 2002, 2003 in Salt lake City, he joined me and my buddy Jim in the audience at half time.....I can't remember that ever happening since...if it wasn't for him, there would be no DSO!
