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.

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

He was an inspiration to me as far as what type of musician I wanted to be. Instead of constructing midi clips on the computer I decided to focus on the old school of practicing my piano chops and I have improved significantly this past decade+.
His Scope creativity was brilliant too.
I think he left a little bit of himself in a lot of us still here.

I will never not be able to think of waittail cocktresses when I'm in a lounge, thanks Jimmy.

Is this Jimmy immortalized in the description of the "Update v3.0 for Pro-One"? [scroll down in the link below]

I do remember him dearly, yes
