I was so eager to see where he'd go musically and what he'd do next, how as a performer and musician he'd evolve. I was always so taken with how fluidly he played guitar. I am grateful to have seen him perform twice. Deep sympathy to all who knew and loved him. I am sad.

Once you earned his respect he would let you in and his conversation was a mine of insights and good sense. Stephen and Billy too. I got the chance to do the same at Camden Underworld in London for the final date of 2009's UK trip where Jay was accompanied by two of denmark's Cola Freaks on bass & drums, a very different show but equally memorable for so many positive reasons. The gig is documented in my blog entry that weekend: http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=29960489&blogId=518532741 My thoughts are with all those who knew him far better than me, he and his live music will be much missed. The recordings of course will serve as a permanent tribute to a fine talent. To those who have missed out on this man's amazing music, an excellent example can be found if you go to YouTube and search for: Lost Sounds I Get Nervous Recorded for a 2005 radio broadcast and also filmed in 4 parts, this set of clips captures something of the excitement of a full-on live performance.

My condolences to his friends and family. I selfishly mourn the great outpouring of fantastic music to come that we’re now deprived of–decades of it from a prolific artist.
