SK Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 To all: I am touched by your kindness. wow. Your support means much more than I can express, and I appreciate Dave Ferris's compassionate post about it. To Hammonddave: sorry to read of the loss of your friend. I always tried not to bring personal stuff onto the forum I'm just not comfortable with it, and to conform to that position, I've now edited out the brief background story. Friends planet wide have been tremendously supportive, and of course, music is always there. Music is a great gift to us all which we can't fully explain, and to my thinking, second only to the power of love. Thank you all.

Jazz+ Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Steve, I am so sorry to hear this. I too lost my loved one 5 years ago and it was so devastating.

ProfD Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 SK, condolences to you my friend. We both know April would want you to take comfort in your music. I had the pleasure of meeting April while hanging out with Steve in Richmond a few years ago. After receiving a master class from SK, the three of us went out for dinner. I'll never forget that day. April was definitely a beautiful spirit. May her soul rest in peace. PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

gangsu Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Dear Steve, I'm so saddened by your loss. Your description of April as a clear and unusually bright light touches me. Thanks for the glimpse of your life together. In some small way, it enables each of us to honour her memory. RIP April, and much love to you. "........! Try to make It..REAL! compared to what? ! ! !

Aidan Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Steve, I'm predictably late to this due to the inevitable gig, but like many others here, I'm thinking of and praying for you. I think most here would agree that at one's very best, our spirits somehow speak through our music. I am sure that there will forever be a second voice intertwined with yours whenever you play.

SK Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 The support is absolutely wonderful and greatly appreciated. Your kindness and concern is humbling. And this is just 'me': I also don't want anyone to feel too sorry for me now. My situation is no more special than anyone else's. Everyone faces dramatic events during a lifetime, and I am no different than the rest of you in that regard. As with everything, it's all just a part of Life. Such inevitable turns in the road remind us of the importance of making the most of our time, seeking growth, knowledge and understanding. The compassion and empathy in this thread is astounding. Kindness, friendship and music is its own best reward, and is KC at its best. Positive energy and thoughts promote healing, and each of you in this thread has done your part. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much. You all are truly helping me towards that next step down the road.

Adan Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I'm late to this too. SK, I think everyone who is a regular here feels they "know" you because you consistently share so much information, perspective, and positive vibe. So we are all feeling this a little bit. Everyone who comes into (and, perhaps, leaves) our life gives us something worthwhile to pass on to others. I am certain you will keep giving.
