Dear Jimmy,

I was somehow reminded of you when I upgraded my Mac to Tahoe the other day. Lake Tahoa was one of your favourite hangouts. I bought an AKAI MPC Sequencer this year and it serves as a reminder of your days as well.

I know I speak for other members here in that your departure was (still is) a shock and you are sorely missed.

So how is your residency inside the Pearly Gates now ? Is there plenty of free Hagar and trim ? Or maybe even the opportunity to jam with Emerson, Wakeman and other keyboard legends ?

Your memory lives on !

Yeah, I´m missing Jimmy very much too, last but not least because it became a good friendship.
And he was such a skilled keyboardplayer and w/ excellent tech knowledge in addition which is rare.

But,- jamming w/ Wakeman has to wait since Rick is still alive and active. :D

:wink:

Jimmy was also one of the most active and entertaining parts of our userbase, and will always be missed for the hole in vibes that resulted from his absence.

I wonder how his son is doing with that Scope rig and sampler he inherited...?

Yes,- I also hoped he´ll be here but also never knew how deep he was into music production and/or keyboard playing at all.
Only heared several times Jimmy gave him the stuff he wanted to get rid off.
Maybe he sold everything,- who knows ? :-?

:)

I actually asked him about giving the Xite rig a good home, he wanted to hang into it. I can email him again…

It’s still kind of grieve :( but he certainly wouldn‘t appreciate such attitude...
So trying to face the future in the most positive way
