artto Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I didn’t see this until just now (unfortunately). Rocco Prestia, bassist for Tower of Power past away September 29, 2020. This one hits me a little harder than most, for several reasons. 1) We’re about the same age – months apart. 2) A number of years ago one of the best musicians and guitar player I ever knew and played with said to me “Man, you smoked it! That was just like Rocco Prestia!” when we finished the set and left the stage. Personally, I don't think I've ever played as well as Rocco, and never will. But, it's nice to get that kind of respect. See you at that great gig in the sky Rocco!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jorjen Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Sorry for your loss. Just bought a new pressing (a month ago) of "Back to Oakland". I just listened to "Squibb Cakes" in his honor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
