Dia De Los Muertos! Memoria Eterna!

 

RIP, friends.

 

I think Rex and I chatted about DACS, both having the very modest (especially by today's standards, financially, at least) Echo Audiofire firewire DAC.

IIRC, we even discussed whether or not an ODAC would be an upgrade! In fact, I did buy one, but reverted to my Audiofire, which remained in use from those days right up to this-year's purchase of a MOTU M4.

 

I also knew Rex the best. We'd chat about his random big boi horn experiments, usually some JBL components that he'd fished off craiglist or ebay.

I had another fried who passed just last year in much the same manner. Young guy too. So was Rex. f**k cancer man.

 

Looks like the other thread re: Dino's passing was eaten earlier this year, but has been reconstructed here: https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/to-our-friend-dean-dino.12632/#post-390594.

Thanks to the mods who took the time to do so.

 

Wisdom attained with age.

I live each day as if it might be my last. I'm in that age group for whom it very well could. Never take anything for granted.

This song has the odd charm of David Bowie, the heaviness of Kyuss and the Blues sung by Josh Homme. It always hits me me harder than I expect. Usually a closer song in my playlists. It is this song or "Fortress" for me.

 

It is that time of year again, Day of the Dead. Please remember to raise a glass to our departed Pyrates, three of which are shown in the original post above.

May our memories of our departed Pyrates never grow dim.

 

In memory of @caute. May you rest in peace Michael.

 

Any idea what happened? I was under the impression from the nature of his posts that he was fairly young.

 

----edit----

Sad, very sad when people leave before their time. May he rest in peace.

I understand the intent here, guys, but my gut tells me that any more discussion than this may be a bit inappropriate, and not in keeping with the purpose of this thread either. I'd be pleased if a mod were to move/clean this up just a touch, literally for posterity's sake.

 

And that's certainly something that should be respected. The asterisk is if there is a lesson or meaning to someone's story which would be helpful to others who might be suffering and by knowing they'd be helped. There is respect in silence but it also deprives people about what is going on now in the world and knowing what people are struggling with. Of course, sometimes things are too complex for public ears.

 

Can't forget about @Warrior. I don't if other members were aware
