Labor Day Weekend Bike Accident Sends Local Rocker to Emergency Room

This past weekend, the bassist from the popular local band, The Vox Jaguars, was found by Santa Cruz police, lying unconscious next to his bike in the intersection of Laurel Street and Pacific Avenue during the one o'clock AM hour early Sunday morning. The eighteen year old musician, Mason Rosenberg, whose bass playing has been compared to Les Claypool and Tony Levin, was taken by ambulance to Dominican Hospital in Santa Cruz. He was later released with a concussion, but no other major injuries. There were no witnesses to the early morning bicycle accident. Anyone with information about this accident is urged to contact the Santa Cruz Police Dept.

Strangely, or interestingly, or something, last year on labor Day Weekend, the young Mr. Rosenberg found himself in the same emergency room with a ruptured appendix. He had been ill throughout The Vox Jaguar's Southern California tour, and had recently returned to Santa Cruz when he was taken to Dominican Hospital for emergency procedures.

And then there's
the tale of the broken hand bassist.

Rhetro Zenberg recommends that the young musician either get a car, or use public transportation from now on.
