craigb 938 Posted April 23 Thanks to an inquiry by Alex, I did a quick search and found out why Bo (a.k.a., Space Cowboy) never made it to the new forum... Bo's Obituary He passed away over a year ago! March 21st, 2018... Besides the obvious, back when I was forced to do just about anything to survive, he bought one of my custom guitars with the stipulation that I could buy it back once I could afford to. Now it appears that both he and the guitar are gone forever... RIP Bo! 😕 (Or you can call him Maurice.😉) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

InstrEd 659 Posted April 23 I just read his Obituary. I knew he was smart, didn't realize he actually was a rocket scientist. He was always willing to help us on the forum. Prayers for his family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S.L.I.P. 261 Posted April 23 Very sad. I've always enjoyed reading his comments and thoughts. You often wonder when you don't see someone posting on the forum anymore what happened. Usually I hope they've moved to a different platform or just got tired of posting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Vogel 105 Posted April 24 That’s sad news. It just happens doesn’t it. We don’t always know what’s going on in someone’s life and then, one day, gone. See that’s a part of the old forum that’s still ever present. That caring about people enough that when someone is not around for a while it triggers a search. It only takes one person to do that but it informs the rest of us and we come together as in this thread and others of good wishes for those who are not well and or doing it tough in some way other than poor health. Ive personally been the beneficiary of well wishes and positivity sent my way while I’ve been unwell. So for me thanks and for Space Cowboy I’m glad to have met you even if only virtually through this forum. Condolences to the family with thoughts of peace and rest going their way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Fogle 157 Posted April 24 I'm sorry to read this. I arrived kind of late in the old forum but remember reading some of Space Cowboy's posts and replies. This thread shows the real reason forums remain popular. There can be a sense of family and singular community that grows over time. A forum has a purpose and focus not offered in many other social platforms. This community lost numerous familiar personalities in the transition from old to new platform. As was said in an earlier post it is sad to discover at least one former member is gone forever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craigb 938 Posted April 24 Yep... We've lost a few over the last years. Billy Arnell (ba_midi), Jan Eiken (Old55) and, now, Bo... It happens! But, I personally didn't think any of the above were anywhere near old age... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RBH 73 Posted April 25 These and others present were real teachers of the DAW trade to me over the years. Best to his family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
