And where "getting the ball rolling" is concerned, let the record state that Jay Tiller was entirely responsible for my introduction to The Frogs. Though others had sung their praises, it was Jay that put 'Made Up Songs I' on the flipside of a live Die Kreuzen cassette. The rest is either rock history or mental health history, depending on your point of view. Or maybe a little of both. high praise from one of my favorite guitar players, ever.

This was a terrible tragedy. Keep the Flemion family in everyone's prayers. Dennis was a very kind man with a sense of humor that i consider myself lucky to have known on a personal level. He was really a one of a kind human being, who loved his family and making music. He could have conformed to society, and used his music talents to create your typical sounding music, but that wasn't Dennis. He rather would do exactly what him and his brother wanted to do, and forget the rest. He will truly be missed. RIP Dennis... “some guy” in the middle is Kurt Cobain of Nirvana.

These guys were part of the soundtrack of my youth and provided much needed levity during some depressing moments. I was looking forward to seing them live but I suppose that's over now. Still, the power to evoke humor and laughter, even of the oddball nature of the Frogs, is one of the greatest gifts any human can possess. Sail on Dennis, to whatever rosy jack world you find your way to. RIP Will Greensboro, NC Very to sad to hear the news.
