:Where is my left foot?

— Thursday, February 22 2007
It breaks my heart to tell you all that Ian left us this morning. He slept through the night and was, to my mind, very comfortable. He was still fighting I asked him to let go and fly away…and he did.

I originally got to know Ian (and his partner/manager Margie) through his diary on the original Krimson News site. Later he and I worked together on the artwork for his album, “Happiness with Minimal Side Effects”, a genuine highlight of my professional graphics career. We met once when he came through en route to a “blues cruise” leaving from Port Everglades, and had a great time. He was a fantastic cat. Life intrudes, more later…
