Remembering a Good Friend Dean Tribble was my best friend. He was a roommate and at times a brother. He was also one of those rare, really special people you get to know and get the honor of jamming or playing in a band with. Mike and I still talk about him all the time and I think about him daily. Dean and I played together starting in the mid 80s. When you played with him, you learned things through some kind of osmosis or something. My guess is some kind of magic. He had a huge talent for writing and arranging music. He would do things like improvise a song or rhythm in the middle of a set just to keep things fresh and look for new ideas. It was like he was stretching and exercising his playing/singing and his musical mind every single time he played. It was a lot of fun. He made you feel like you were his equal on stage, but at the same time he always led you by example. Dean was my best friend. I miss him immensly. It's been three years since he passed away on Oct 1, 2006, and I guess I'm feeling rather melancholy about it.Drummer Dave Leave Comment:Posts 1 - 10 of 19
