Catching up with my personal email, and I've read with the terrible news from Violet. And now, I've caught up with Loopers-Delight emails. As some of you know, we have aleady started work on the 4th Loopers-Delight Compilation CD (LD CD IV). After my email to LD and Violet, I emailed the folks on the LD CD IV proposing that we dedicate the compilation CD to Kim. I've not heard back from folks yet, but I don't anticipate objections to such a dedication. As many have so eloquantly stated, Kim changed our music and our lives. Without him, we would not be here now.
There surely must be multiple ways and opportunities to express our gratitude for what Kim has created and condolences for what we, and mostly Violet, have lost with Kim's passing. Commemorating Kim with CD's, performances, websites, meet-ups' (virtual or physical) - all are available.
