Subject: Feel like I knew him well...

Hi folks,

Just one or two things about Shawn...

I love his music, of course, but I feel like it's the man lying behind the music, that I really like.

Thought I never saw Shawn, I read a lot about him (including many interviews), and I came to the conclusion that he was greater as a man than as a musician (if possible!).

I feel his music and vision of this world are very close to mines. Besides, I read a few from Jonas about "Temporal Analogue of Paradise", and found in there the explanation of my loving this music.

It is very rare to have such a link between what is meant (philosophically, socially, humanily,...) and what is played (musically).

I know only one other musician having a such link between his life and his music : John Coltrane (thought I know Shawn enjoyed Bird more than Trane...)

Keep Shawn's music alive, as well as his memory.

We'll miss him, but life goes on, and we have to follow Shaw's way : that means searching.

Peace.

Jérémy








PS: please, forgive my poor english, i'm french.
