Title: RIP - RTBP

Though not a household name, Rick Rosas, aka Rick the Bass Player passed away today.

A great bass player, he was Neil Young's bass player and he also played for Joe Walsh. For the past 14 years or so he has been a regular at the Waddy Wachtel club gigs in Los Angeles.

I will miss his playing and his dry sense of humor. R.I.P. Rick!

Ironic that he filled in for Billy Talbot with Crazy Horse this summer following Billy's mild stroke - and then died a few months later.

He's been a big part of Neil's music for decades. Sad news.

Not a good couple of weeks for bass players.
