I was jamming in a friends barn; one of the guys went on a beer run.
He came back and said he heard Brent had died on the radio.
We were shocked.

SO, I'm working with my friend Jon (who later became bassist for my now-former band, Double Dose) who was living in Pittsburgh w/ his 2 roomates, Mike & Brett. Now, Mike (who is known amongst Pittsburgh 'Heads very well) has a pretty thick Pittsburgh accent. Jon gets a call at work from Mike that says, "Dude, Brett died." Jon starts freaking out, looks at me and goes, "You gotta cover for me! My roomate's dead!" Now BRETT - at the time - was hittin' stuff kinda hard (I guess we all were when we were younger, in my circle) - so it wouldn't seem all that out of place. Jon rushes home - no one's there...he starts crying and going through Brett's stuff. In walks Brett. Jon, of course looks as if he's seen a ghost. Brett has NO idea what's going on. Mike walks in during their conversation. Jon looks at him and says, "DUDE! Here's Brett - alive and well!" Mike says, "Dude, Brett MYDLAND!" Sad to say, but at this point, Jon was even MORE bummed....
(no offense to Brett if you're reading this!)....Sheesh.PostPosted:Tue Oct 21, 2008 10:29 am
Happy B-Day Clifton! You were the spark plug that jump started the mighty GD engine and kept it humming for 11 years. You are missed ....

Happy Birthday Brent!
The man is sorely missed.
IMHO, basically the day that ended the GD's last great era.
As for Pappy's story, that is CLASSIC, especially since I know all those guys.
RIP Brent.
