Building Rockets

April 26, 2010

It is my sad duty to inform you that our former bassist, Russell Johnson, passed away last week at the age of 50. It’s a sad day and the world is a little worse off for not having Russell in it. The last time I saw him a few months ago, he looked much older than his years, but Russell always had a young heart. He was 20 years older than me but played with the enthusiasm and energy of a teenager in their first garage band. He was a hell of a musician and a great person, and I’m proud to have called him my friend.

Rest in peace, buddy.
