The Rose, from Missoula Montana, relocated to the Nanaimo area around 1970. While hunkered down in rural Cedar area they added Sherri Smith's powerful, and expressive vocals to the lineup. Working a mix of originals and hit tunes they stormed Nanaimo and mid island rock fans. Faced with internal tensions and outside pressures this configuration of players could only play together for a year or so in 1972 -1973. Luther then moved on with the final Rose group teaming up with original Rose drummer Craig Lowery and local bass player Jim Cole.Alan Burns, July 2004
