From Jon's Webpage today:

Chris was a very special part of my life; we were musical brothers. He was an amazingly unique bass player - very poetic - and had a wonderful knowledge of harmony. We met at a certain time when music was very open, and I feel blessed to have created some wonderful, adventurous, music with him. Chris had such a great sense of humor... he always said he was Darth Vader to my Obiwan. I always thought of him as Christopher Robin to my Winnie the Pooh.

We travelled a road less travelled and I'm so thankful that he climbed the musical mountains with me. Throughout everything, he was still my brother, and I'm so glad we were able to reconnect recently. I saw him in my meditation last night, and he was radiant. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.

Love and light.....Jon

Interesting that one of the most eloquent remembrances comes from a former bandmate's website, and not the current one(s). Thx for posting.

Yes, quite heartfelt and clear. A testament of kinship, reflection, fondness and brotherhood. Jon's sentiments are wonderful.

Bill Bruford's comments about Chris on his page are also very kind and moving...

Yes they were. I'm not a huge fan of waiting until someone passes to heap the love. Seems Bill had very little good to say about Chris until he had passed.
