Today we'd like to take a moment to acknowledge a man who wears approximately 47 hats around here 😉
Meet Derek Stallman.
Many of you already know Derek as the guy hosting our Celtic Strings Session on Sundays.
What you may not know, is that in the days prior... Derek has already bartended, prepped food, washed dishes, gardened, bussed tables, stocked coolers, solved a problem, fixed another problem, and quietly handled at least three things nobody else even noticed needed handling.
We're not actually sure where one Derek ends and several other Dereks begin. At this point we've stopped asking questions.
What we do know, is that Derek has been an incredibly important part of Rosie’s. Reliable. Capable. ULTRA talented. Kind. And the sort of person who simply sees what needs to be done and does it.
No fuss. No fanfare. Just consistency. And in this business, there is no greater quality than consistency!
On top of it all... he still somehow finds the energy to fill the room with music every Sunday afternoon.
That is true passion for your craft, from both angles, and frankly, it feels a little show-offy... We love it!😎
If you've enjoyed a Sunday session, a well-mixed drink, a clean bar, a stocked kitchen, a smooth shift, or a problem you never knew existed because Derek already solved it...
Tell the man thank you.
We're lucky to have him.
❤️Rosie’s
