As others have said, I did not know Laurie personally, nor did I correspond with him apart from through the list; but this is very sad news nonetheless. His many posts here -- his insight, humor, and practicality -- will be sorely missed. - Eric To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
Re: [abcusers] Laurie Griffiths : sad news
This (abcusers community) is a 'relatively' small interest group; so when one, especially a newcomer like me, starts to recognise the names of the regular contributers - i.e. the people with *something to say* - an immediate sort of affinity develops; to the point that, even when one doesn't know the other individual on a personal level - the fact that we all have a common interest gives us an unusual common bond.. This, in my opinion, leads to a kind of strange type of ethereal brother/sisterhood where we all can relate to each other, over this impersonal internet, out of our universal love of music. The point is, I don't know whether Laurie was black , brown, white or yellow; whether he was Catholic, Protestant, Jew, Muslim or non-believer. I didn't even know his age. Who bloody cares. He contributed imensely towards my own enjoyment of things musical with his concise snippets of advice and his programming skills. For this reason alone, as HE shared HIS personal love of music with US, I think that we should all be grateful for his enthusiasm and encouragement. His untimely death is a tragedy, more so for his immediate family. My condolences to them. He will be sadly missed and may he rest in peace.

Re: [abcusers] Laurie Griffiths : sad news
How very sad and tragic. Altough it seems he accomplished a great deal, there are fragments of his incomplete life all over the internet. > > I've no idea what he looked like, even. > There's a picture of him here: http://www.musements.co.uk/muse/CV.html > > To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: > http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
Re: [abcusers] Laurie Griffiths : sad news
It's strange how easy it is to take people for granted until suddenly they aren't there anymore. Laurie was a most important contributor to abcusers and to the abc community as a whole. Now he's posted his last message. I can't believe he's played his last tune, though. If there's any justice at all, there *has* to be a great band up there waiting for him to join and enjoy.

As well as writing Muse and playing fiddle in Spike Island Band, Laurie was active in the folk dance scene in Southampton, which was how I got hear of this.

RE: [abcusers] Laurie Griffiths : sad news
So strange. I've never met Laurie, and now I never will. We've corresponded for years, on and off this list - about music, abc, programming, physics... I've no idea what he looked like, even. And I'm astonished by my own sense of shock and sadness. He will be missed. Phil Taylor To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
