Diablo
Posted by virt on April 5th, 2005 filed in GeneralR.I.P. Ben “Diablo” Shelton, 1974-2005, #trax regular, sysadmin guru, beer connoisseur, rally racing fan, telecom geek. Passed away on April Fool’s day, of all the luck. One of the people whose general knowledge I most respected, despite our strongly differing political viewpoints and frequent snarking. He seemed to know at least something about almost everything.
When I got to my computer and saw them talking about his passing, I was already feeling pretty gross, and I just did a triple take and sort of ..quietly retracted into the sequencer and drowned out everything by writing music. I didn’t use a metronome or do any cleanup, I just hit record and played fake guitar because Ben said once that he liked my fake guitar.
Heaven is in Europe, you commie tree-hugging yoga-stretching bastard.
Sorry if I brought anyone down upon reading/hearing this, but I’m a mess right now. Disabled comments, but I’ll be back to my chipper self probably by tomorrow or something. With Kristi around making silly faces and yawning I am unable to remain upset for more than a day or so.
