I was there at the channel that night in ’91, was an amazing show and my hopes are with Jerry. I just bought the download and can’t wait to re-live that night.. All the best Jerry..

Wow. Jeff, thanks very much for providing this. I did some Googling on Cecil and found him all over the south bay at that time, shooting on Muscle Beach and also (apparently) working as a recording engineer in places like the Lighthouse and for Takoma Records. He’ll get the credit. I’ll put a link to the feature when it goes online.

Thanks Bob…Sandi told me the story of the picture, but I don’t know that he mentioned who took it. Let me check her email and I’ll let you know.

So sad that Sandi has passed. She sounds like an amazing human being! I saw this image of the Lighthouse front over at “Your Heart Out” blog (who sourced it from here) and find it so evocative that I’d like to use it in a Lighthouse feature I’m preparing for upload soon. Is that OK and if so, who should I credit? My thanks.

I found this to be an interesting blog — wonderfully big-eared, as they say.

I also exchanged posts with Sandi on All About Jazz. She was like a close friend that I had never met! A very sincere and lovely person. Her presence is indeed sadly miseed.

Hey I saved all the emails from Sandy when we used to write each other I would be glad to forward them if it will help fill in the blanks..I fell out of touch with her for a while..i was deeply saddened to hear of her passing, I just found out today..wow, wondered why i hadn’t heard from her for a while..things happen and we get busy, just shows you that we should always try and make time, for time can be too short. Howard Rumsey told me he remembered her well and I was glad to pass that on to her a few years back. Sandy I will miss you always and wished we could have met.. Pete Poulos Jazz Drummer

Not sure if you’ve seen all the updates, but Jerry is doing much better. dUg even posted a new song on facebook that he wrote about Jerry a few days ago…https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=3545758801138

I am a huge KX fan like you, and it’s funny that my first KX show was just after yours. I saw them on July 27, 1991 at the Roxy in Atlanta, the first of ten times I’ve seen them. (The most recent show was on 6/27/09 in Chicago, plus I saw a Poundhound show in 2001.) Very sad news about Jerry, so I am definitely buying the Boston download. It’ll be fun to listen to how they sounded when I first saw them way back when. May Jerry get well soon and be back playing with Dug and Ty before we know it!
