------------------------------------------------------------

Re was one of the worlds greatest bass player/singer/song writer I ever met. He was the best band mate, room mate, and friend any one could hope for. I feel very privileged to have had the chance to have been in a band together for the past ten years.

Re had played out in LA for years and worked with almost every picker in town back in the '80s. If you knew Re and have a story to share, a picture to show or a song to sing, or if you just want to have a drink and make a toast to him, please come out next Tuesday night.

There may be a few tears, but if you knew Re then you know there will be more smiles, laughter, and music.

I just found this and I'm sad and in shock.....I didn't know Re very well , but he did record an album at my studio in Nashville about 1991/92 ....I thought at the time that he was a great guy and a great songwriter....I'm sorry that you've lost such a close friend.....Have you been able to contact Dan Dugmore (I know they were good friends as well) PM me and I could give you a contact number if you don't have one....

R.I.P. Re......

What a great guy, I learned Fisheman's Blues by the Waterboys from playing with Re, my Dad Greg Harris used to play with Re a lot, and I was fortunate to be able to play a few gigs with em.
