Fw: Kim and press requests.
Dear List,
two things have come up, the first being the most urgent. I got an e-mail from a reporter named Gianna from the UC Berkeley who saw my tribute piece and asked if I could contribute a few words about him for an article she is writing, and of course the deadline is tonight at 5 p.m. I feel woefully inadequate to give a proper eulogy for him as I didn't know him as well as some of you who have worked with him more closely. I'm wondering if anyone has a direct connection to Keith McMillan and if he might be the person or know of persons who were more directly connected to Kim in the SF Bay Area. I will go back and find Matthias' post to refresh my memory on the background of Kim's involvement with the EDP and Aurisis, but I was hoping there might be more to offer, as well.
Secondly, Barry Cleveland approached me about posting the piece I improvised for Kim on the Guitar Player web site along
with a few lines about Kim, which again I feel there would be others more equipped to articulate. If anyone would like to contribute a short paragraph, or two or three sentences, please feel free to contact me OFF LIST. I feel a little weird about all of this, that I might be perceived as grandstanding for press around this tragedy, which i assure all of you, was not my intention. Thanks
Bill
