I'm here. It's been a while, and there are distractions. You know me, I'm not good at dates or lyrics...
This night, I watched a video of Dave Draiman and Myles Kennedy singing Sounds of Silence and MM singing Sweet Dreams. There was, in the background, someone playing tympani, and more than the singers, this drew me to you. Lots of turmoil in the world. Wish you were here to help me balance.
Love you "brother"!

Your mom gave me your Mardi Gras beads last year. Jen(na) and I carried them from the Bywater into the Quarter so you were with us and got that wish list item checked off at long last. I love you always and miss you forever.

My brother, 20 years. We talked recently about how you might like symphonic metal and the beautiful talented ladies fronting these bands with their operatic vocals. Recently Tarja released a more peaceful recording with members of the world music community and I would love to share that with you.
Miss your voice, your advice and counterpoint. Have a nice jam and a chuckle at my loss of lyrics.
Love you brother.

I´ll always remember how you had the entire court of Kansas City RenFest convinced your name was Yoshi... all because the airline wasn´t timely with their snacks and you got silly instead of hangry. Snack packs of pretzels will forever remind me of you. I love you still and miss you always.

This time of year always makes me sad. So much has changed since you left us. However, my heart still has you holding the same spot you’ve always held. Miss you beyond words JimmyBones. Gosh, we were so young. I was so lucky to have you in my life. I hope you are encased in beautiful sound wherever you may be. Love you. XOXO

Listening to "The Flame" by Cheap Trick and I was taken back in time to when Jimmy & I shared some time on this big blue marble. Jimmy & his family will forever hold a place in my heart that they themselves opened. Rest in peace angel, your light continues to shine.

You remain a permanent part of my heart and soul. I miss you like crazy all the time. It still hurts that I can't share stuff with you (or, let's be honest, bask in your sharing with me)... but the sadness of losing you is the price of loving you and I'm still glad to pay that price.

Well shucks...I really put off that Bohemian Rhapsody movie because Queen reminds me of you but I watched it the other night and wondered what you'd think since you were the expert. I would've wanted to see it with you like so many other things we did together (Les Mis when we cried on each other's shoulders, that Metallica concert that nearly gave us heat stroke.) I'm sorry I kept telling you Queen sucked when we were in high school. I was so wrong and your taste was flawless and I just wasn't evolved enough. ;) I listen to them now and smile at you gushing over them endlessly. I can't believe how many things remind me of you. I wish we'd never lost touch, I wish I'd been a better friend. Love you, Jimmy.

15 years ago you stepped out of our reality and moved on to another.
We miss you everyday and are grateful for all the joy, comfort, knowledge and love you brought us.
On this day I will put on our memories and carry you with me to teach and inspire others to love and live.
If time allows, and a 6 year old's patience, I will crack open a Mountain Dew, order some Papa John's and sit down to listen to Bohemian Rhapsody or One Bad Pig and think of the Nerf battles, the air hockey games, the amazing performances, and the love and sorrow of our relationships.
Thank you for all you have given me and forgive me where I failed you.
I love you brother.
How I'll always remember him

Just yesterday, I went on a nostalgic trip down memory lane after stumbling across pictures from my time at Scarborough Faire. That sent me to the computer to Facebook stalk some old names I remembered from that time.
And that's when I discovered Jimmy's tragic loss.
When I think of Scarborough Faire, several faces jump out at me. Among the fondest are Jimmy and Jacky. And now I learned that both have departed from this world.
My heart is heavy. I'm thinking of these beautiful people.
February 8, 2018
It doesn't get any easier but you certainly made some incredible friends while you were here. They make sure I'm never alone as this day gets closer and our memories of you provoke more laughter than tears and I know you would want it that way. Can it really be 14 years? I think of you every day.

I wish I could listen to you rant and rail. But I have the best memories of past rants. Past rails. And I have the best women in my life because of you. I'm a lucky girl. I keep you close to my heart...and even my toes. Love you. RIP - Jo
February 8, 2017
My dear boy. You left me a world of incredible memories but the most important thing you left me was the people I love most. You would come home and say "oh my god, you have to meet this girl, she is so cool".....and you were always right. Tonight 3 of those
unbelievably cool women and I are about to head over to your
apartment like we do every year to light a candle and talk about how much we loved you.
RIP my son

It's that time of year again.
I have so many questions and so much to share.
Evan James is 4 now and has fallen in love with the Lion King. We listen to the songs in the car and watch the movie constantly. There are several references posted here from others.
I know you hear what I'm listening to but I wish I could hear you talk about them.
This year I discovered Theocracy, For Today, Tina Guo and Adam Hurst. There are others but that is definitely where the chat would start.
In a rock and roll heaven you must be having a blast because we lost so many voices this year.
I really want to have the conversation about how much incredible art will come out of the next four years. That's my way of looking positively about it.
Oceans of love my brother.
February 6, 2017
I love and miss you still. And since losing Jacky it's even keener, this pain. But how is it that I feel when there's a you-shaped hole in my heart? Must be how amputees still feel pain in a missing limb. My phantom heart, then. Seems fitting.

Do you remember seeing Michael Crawford in about 1990 at Starplex from the 5th row? We joked about the no obvious need for the beefy security guards and sat (and stood) all night enjoying the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber. You were wearing a brown shirt that was fringed all over; you told me it was your concert gear!
I saw Michael Crawford again this week and thought about that night and what an amazing time it was. I miss you; hanging out with you; driving around in the Phantom, going through the Long Johns drive thru (you knew EXACTLY what you wanted!) listening and playing music together.
Your absence still moves me to tears even after all these years.
Oh Jimmy.
July 23, 2016
Not sure why I thought of you tonight, but I found myself here. I read the messages other people left you and smiled because you were so loved. I wish I could've talked to you again. Until then...xx Julie

I made a spur-of-the-moment decision to take off for NOLA and spent Lundi Gras (Feb. 8, 2016) on the banks of the Mississippi, wind blown and full of vodka, enjoying a band with an accordion player that was laying it right on down. Angie and I drank a toast to you, and shared our memories of you with new friends. It seemed fitting. My love follows you still.

Growing up across the street from you, we had some great fun and great adventures. Hardly a day goes by that I don't think about you. I really regret not staying in touch with you in our adult years, but life sometimes carries you away from those you grew up with. I look over your accomplishments and I am so proud of what you had become. Rest well my friend, we have a lot of galaxies to explore when I get there.

I didn't even know you were gone until now. I'm so sorry that when I bumped into you long ago, I didn't stop to talk longer. That I had to rush away. There was so much to say. And not enough time. You were my best friend once, and my first real kiss. I will never forget all the time we spent together. I know you never did, either.

Watching Classic Albums on Vh1 Classics. Tonight's featured album is a Night at the Opera. Thank you sooo much for introducing me to Queen and the the amazing art of Freddie, Brian, Roger and John. There's is really nothing like Queen and I look forward to sharing them with Evan JAMES. Love you brother, miss you more than anyone can imagine. Though I think Amy comes close. This past year, T-Rex, Awolnation, Devil Wears Prada...
Thank you Leigh Ann.

Thank you for being born. Though losing you brought pain beyond description, imagining a world where you didn't exist is truly devastating.
Though you're gone, your light shines on. I will celebrate your all-too-brief time here and be glad for the moments we had. Happy birthday, my friend.

Dreamed about you this morning, but it wasn't one of those subconscious-brain-dump kind of dreams. It was the mortal plane merging with yours. There was a party at your Mom's place and you were present, and no one could see you... except me. (Go figure, the witchy spooky girl...) I looked you in the eye and you were shocked that I could see you, but soon started chatting and catching up.
I've rarely hated waking up so much.
Amy

I had lunch with Shanna on Saturday and of course you came up. There were almost-tears and lots of smiles as we shared fond memories. You're still very present in our lives, love. Gone but not forgotten.

I miss you dearly. On a daily basis I hear or see something that I think would delight or intrigue you. I still think for a split second about picking up the phone or emailing you. I don't know if I will ever truly accept the fact that you are gone. It doesn't feel right to be in a world without you. I always tell myself you are just on another trip seeing some amazing new land and soaking up the culture. It feels a little better to think of things that way. I hope that wherever you are, you are borderline spectacular. Oceans of love my dearest Jimmybones.

February 9, 2012
You're still the shape of the hole in my heart. While I try to focus on the fact that you're beyond pain now, some days I am selfish and greedy; I just want to hug my friend again. I miss you (and can only take comfort in the fact that I'm not alone in that).

Can it be possible that you would have been 40 years old today? You will always live in my heart and in my head as a young man who would make the world a better place.....and you did. Happy Birthday!!

I still miss you. I remember fondly those high school days on the phone for hours while you played your music. I can't watch an opera or listen to classical music or Pink Floyd without thinking of you.
I still have the sketchbook you wrote in. I come across it in my studio often and think of you.
February 17, 2011
Oh Jimmy...how can it be 22 years since we first met, and over 7 since we last talked? I found a sheet of music you had written out for me; it was to be the theme for Cyrano. I played it over and over and thought of you.
Shawn
February 11, 2011
I don't know what to say that I don't say to you weekly. Although I'm sorry my recollection of dates isn't better. I watched the Phantom of the Opera movie finally. "We've passed the point of no return"...but I still miss you.
Like Leslie said, Come see us if you can, would love to feel your presence and inspiration.
Love you brother.

March 24, 2010
Jimmy, I just learned of your passing this week, a little over six years after the fact. We had not seen each other in ages (if I remember correctly, the last time I saw you was at a Rush concert at Reunion Arena)... and since I learned you are no longer with us, I have spent the last few days with a grand emptiness inside me.
You were like a little brother to me. I will never forget taking you to see your first Rush concert (where Harvey broke his leg before the concert, but didn't go to the doctor until the next day). I will never forget driving to Fort Worth and meeting up with that couple that got us a copy of Shock Treatment. I will especially never forget the Saturday you came out to one of my drill weekends at the Naval Air Station and came home with your head shaved. (I thought your mother was going to kill me). Mostly, I will never forget the light in your eyes that seemed to burn with eternal youth and happiness, especially when you had a guitar in your hand.
I am sure that you would be saddened to know that our good friend Dan Dowell passed away last September (2009) after a year and a half long battle with cancer, but it somehow gives me peace to think that you and Dano can spend time with each other now.
Lastly, after I learned of your passing, I was trying to explain who you were and what you were to me, to my son, Roy the Fifth, who is now 16 years old. The more I talked to him about you, the more I see you in him. His attitude and vibrant presence seems to copy yours.
Time will heal the pain that I feel, but as all those others who knew you and know of your passing long ago can attest to, the hole in my heart will be a constant reminder of the awesome friend that you were to me. My love to you and your family.

I know that I'm only writing for the benefit of the others. You know what I went through this week because you were with me. It was good to hold you again. As queer as that sounds I miss you and would love to have it back. Be safe on your journey and thanks for saying hi now and again. This year we found Thomas Wynn and the Believers and I got the star fixed...thanks for the quarter note. I love ya brother.
Leslie Rankin
February 13, 2010
Well, I didn't write when I should have but rest assured I was with some pretty amazing people that night who love you more than I think you ever realized. There was drinking, crying, laughing, music....all those things that make other things ok. Like losing one of the most amazing people lucky enough to plop in my life. Wait....I didn't say that right. Yes I did. We were both lucky to have each other...even if it was for such a short time. I love you always and miss you much.

February 9, 2010
Jimmybones - I could not figure out why I had a sleepless night interrupted only by nightmares. Then, of course, this morning I remembered the date.
You are with me always. I don't mind the gentle reminder once a year that this world lost something extraordinary on the day you started your new journey.
Oceans of love...

Like every February 8 since you left us it's gray and raining which seems appropriate. You are so missed and so loved. RIP

Jimmy,
Today I am feeling especially nostalgic, especially for you and all of our little adventures and conversations. I wish you were here so much sometimes that I convince myself that you are really just off exploring some new place, a grand, though extended, vacation. It's easy to do when I am so far away from where we met and established our long relationship.
Often I find myself wishing that my path had kept me closer to you. I wonder how that would have affected our lives. I wish I had been braver and reconnected with you sooner. After all, forgiveness was a ready gift you were willing to bestow. I wish a lot of things.
But more than anything, you know that I am happy. And you, being you, would never have asked for anything more. You were always, and still are, the most selfless human being I ever met.
God, I miss your spirit, your energy. That light that could fill any room you entered. You were one of those rare birds, a genuine larger-than life personality. I feel you with me often. I look forward to reconnecting with you again someday. A new adventure yet again. By then, you'll be the expert (as always in all things) and can show me the ropes, like you so often have in the past.
It will be a long while, but until then, my very dear friend, know that you are always in my heart, never far from my thoughts, and I wish you only joy and peace.
Love always,
Christi

The Meyerson book...your Mom knew. But then again, she knows everything. I hope you don't mind - it sits on my shelf now along with the Chopin and the Flamenco and the postcard I didn't remember. I know things were complicated. I was selfish and I never got to say I was sorry.

I wrote this to your mom, but it applies to you, too: I love you.
That's the important bit. All the other words I could choose, or the things I could say... well, that's the undercurrent of it all. And yes, I mean it in the present tense.

I still miss you. I still think you should be here with us. I still can't find that damn bird song. I still smile when I think of you. I still cry sometimes too though. I still think I see you on the street and around town. I still have my ipod I wanted you to teach me how to use. Most of all I still love you and think of you often.

Happy birthday, dearling. I know you're beyond such things now, but it's important for us to remember... You're still such a part of my daily life that it's hard to believe you're not here. You're indelibly on my mind and in my heart. Weird, but that comforts and saddens me at the same time. I think you'd smile at that paradox.

Chopin's Nocturne #1 in E Minor -- that's what you sound like to me. That's how I remember you.
Today I gave a chance to some of those songs on the ipod that I usually skip over. And I hope you like the song from last night...
I still remember the day in my kitchen you couldn't believe I didn't go crazy over the new piece of music you heard for the first time that day. I walk in the door and you yell out, "You've got to hear this!" I'd do anything to know what that piece was. I did think it was beautiful...I truly did. It was just more fun to watch you go on and on about it.
Krista McCurry English
October 9, 2007
Happy Birthday! Your Mom and I spent the day chatting when we could, and missing you as always. I hope you could feel the love going out to you today. I'm writing this late on the 9th, after spending the day trying to find the right thing to say from both of us. Still don't know if there will ever be the right words. We'll be ending the day listening to your favorite songs and wishing you were here. We love you.

Hey, JB, I've been wanting to tell you something and this was the closest I could come. I was thinking the other day about our trip to Nebraska and how I told you all about my Aunt's house being haunted and how terrified I was going to be sleeping there, but glad she let us sleep in the same bed so I wouldn't be alone! And I thought about the pictures she took of us and asked her if she still had them. She said she saw them earlier this year (before she knew what had happened) and now she can't find them. She says she'll keep looking until she does. That was a fun trip. Thanks for driving with me 10 hours through the night. For years after that all I heard from my Aunt and grandparents was "I just loved that Jimmy boy!" Oh, I did too! I miss you.

I have been avoiding signing your guest book because I still don't want it to be true. I have gone through almost every emotion with finding out the passing of my dearest friend. I was depressed and you wernt there to stop what you know could have happend.Then for a long time I was so mad at you for leaving me and on top of it never saying good bye. And as I get close to your mom again and I draw near to a close all I feel is you. A warm rush when I remember all the fun times we had and the things you had to teach. I am forever thankful and I will surely pass on the best of you on to my son.
Jimmy & Jamaica - they were inseparable.

Since it's been less than a week since I found out what happened, it's still constantly on my mind. I'm having trouble sleeping so I go through music you introduced me to. This one has been going through my head all day.
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
All the letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
For my life
still ahead

I'm back in Ft Worth vising family and friends and I just found out what happened. If I had known before I would have been there to grieve with the thousands of others who love you. I know we lost touch when I left TX, but I always wondered about what you were up to. I still had all the tapes you made me and the memories would flood back every time I listened to them. And all those photos your Mom took of us. I still have those. Judy, please be strong for Jimmy and for Carol. I love you all still. That's who Jimmy was. We all loved him and we never get over him.
