I'm sure many of us often think of people who are no longer with us. These people are likely to be close to us - relatives, friends, of course - but some of them may be folks with whom we feel a more distant connection. So, who are yours?
For me, here's two of the people I wish were still around for us to interact with:
Jaco
Douglas Adams

I'd probably put JJ up there, and Richard Wright from Pink Floyd...RIP.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Fayetteville/NC | | | yeah i wouldn't say the two i listed are heroes, i think the music world is less for having them leave us. jeff buckley moreso than jerry g. garcia pretty much left his mark on the music world. i think buckley could have brought alot more to the table still

Jamerson - I would love to have dinner and a few beers with him. No basses in the room. I would like to find out what else made him tick.
