When we were starting Legerdemain we were looking for local talent and Aaron came out to see if he´d be a good fit. I knew we´d click when I saw he had removed seats in his car to fit a half stack. He had been playing half the time I had and in some ways far beyond where I was. Where I was weak in my playing he was strong and vice versa. Then later we found out we were related through the Melton line, so that was hilarious.
We had so much fun writing guitar parts together. He was a natural writer and would laugh when we´d get super excited about riffs he´d just pull out of nowhere. At that time I don´t think he had any clue how great his parts were and just because they were easy for him didn´t equate to poor quality. He really didn´t seem happy until he was writing stuff that would break my fingers to play.
We played together for a few years together and we got pretty close. He was like a brother to me. Life happened, that era made it impossible to be in a band, things fell apart and we went our separate ways. I lost contact with him over the years and never had a chance to reconnect.
In those few short years it feels like we made a lifetime of memories. In that time, he was always there for me when I needed him. He had a unique sort of sense of humor and was always laughing at everything. I could never tell if he was laughing at something or because of something random that went through his head. Sometimes I would give him the, "What you laughing at look?" And he´d reply with the, "Nah you wouldn´t find it as funny as I do." Giggle and head shake.
We really had that connection where we could do a lot of communication by facial expression while we were playing or on stage. Most of the time he would be completely somewhere else in his head while the rest of us were struggling to keep up. He´d look bored but was just somewhere else while his fingers did their business. Writing with him was probably the most fun I´ve ever had playing music. He´ll always be my brother and I´ll always regret not making the time to reconnect and see what kind of guy he grew into. I loved him.
A lot of my digital files from those days ended up corrupted unfortunately but I did find a few. I hope these links work for anyone who wants to see them. They should be linking to files on a google drive. A couple songs and some poor quality video clips but he´s there. I don´t even remember most of which parts he played or I played but anyone who has heard him play can easily recognize his writing whether I´m playing it him and there´s no mistaking his clean parts.
To mom, Bill, and all the rest of the family and friends I am very sorry to hear about all this. He was a rare type of dude and a rare talent and he´ll always be remembered and loved.

I´m thinking my first time meeting Aaron, or remembering him, was in a class we had together with Mr. Ubbehlode. Aaron would crack some oddball jokes at times that were funny, and I eventually started talking to Aaron about music. Aaron´s passion for guitar always left me with questions about "can you play x" with a sometimes affirmative answer and a sometimes "I don´t have a 12 string guitar you weirdo". I´ll miss Aaron, may he rest in peace.
