Title: Crockspot, God Speed my friend.
Post by: IassaFTots on January 28, 2011, 09:44:49 PM
Mods, please move if you see fit.  I wanted to post where people would see it, rather than a secondary board.   


For those of you that knew Crockspot, I thought I would let you know he passed away.  I have been wondering how he was, I don't recall seeing anything posted from him since Christmas time.  Since he was my friend on Facebook, I looked at his profile tonight, according to his brother, he was found on 1/8, at home, several weeks after his heart attack.   Maggie, his dog is being taken care of by a neighbor at the moment. 

Crockspot, rest in peace just doesn't seem enough.  I hope your heart doesn't hurt anymore.

Oh dear God - that makes me want to cry. Beyond seeming like a really good guy, his posts always made me laugh.

Thanks for the info Tots.  I'm so sorry to hear this.  I will be praying for his family and friends.

He was one of the first people I recall conversing with a our old home. He used to point out all my moles at DU.

I went to the YT link and it sends chills through me seeing that both crock and servo had posted comments. All the other people who posted were family members.

I don't get into GD much so I wasn't even aware of this until I saw a reference to it today in a Dumpster post. A terrible loss. I always like Crock and so enjoyed his humor. He will be sorely missed.

Rest easy in the arms of the Lord, old friend.

Me too. I keep running across little reminders of him. The last one was messages we left on each other's profile page at CU. For as close as I felt to him, I wish I had known him better. And ****, I wish I could have said goodbye....there, I said it!

Ya know somethin' . . . that is a good idea! :naughty:

Best thing I can suggest is get music to a song you know frontwards and backwards and go along with the notes and the voice. Do that a coupla hundred times, and you'll be surprised how easy it really is! yuck, yuck, yuck!

Hard to believe he is no longer with us. He contributed greatly and made The DUmpster section of this forum more interesting.

Why do you think I'm in a choir?  All the other tenors know how to read music, so the first time through, I listen.  The next time through, I blend.

Well, depending on your voice range, you're going to be written in one of two clefs. That's where the A, B, C, D, E, F, G thingies come from. And their associated sharps and flats.

Then there's rhythm. Music is divided up to represent time by assigning a time signature. That's what determines the basic unit of measurement. Have a bunch of things called "measures" or "bars" lined up, each one filled up with either notes or rests and you're almost there.

Add a key signature, which automatically assigns flats or sharps to specific notes, and you're done!

See how easy that was?

that ain't readin' music - that's readin' guitar tabs.

Two different things.

It's a like a drummer that wants to call himself a musician. No he ain't - he's a drummer.

Two different things.

Heh! I read both, but when it gets farther up the neck, I prefer the tabs! It ain't like a piano where you're taught the repetition in scales. It can get to be a real pain in the ass, especially with guys like Jimmy Page tunin' to another key!

I don't drop in this section very often so I'm just learning of this. I'm sad to hear it. I enjoyed reading posts from both crock and Servo. RIP to both and prayers to their families.

Found this thread a while ago but didn't feel it was appropriate to post since I never really knew Crockspot.  Anyways, I read one of his posts today and was reminded of what a bright, sharp, intelligent guy he was.  I only knew you through the message board board but I loved what you wrote and looked forward to seeing your posts.  RIP brother.

Even though this is a very old thread, I remember Crockspot from CU and share the good thoughts/memories that the rest of you have. I always enjoyed his posts and no one else has had a hair-do like that in years. If I remember correctly, he even dropped by RO for a short while.

In one of my occassional passes by CU in 2011, I became aware of his death. For the record, I will say it here at the Cave as well.

RIP Crockspot.
