Gary goes back to the very beginnings of my work with Not Lame in 1995.
His
and Anthony's passions running along side my own as we started our
enterprises purely on our love for 'power pop' and connecting w/ other
people. The mission was simple. That was it. The work of Audities
was a short period - a few years but for those connected to this
'scene' during the years of 1996-1998, when Audities was
running and its work connecting, Gary's genuine passions were
inspirational
and influential seeds in the growing of connecting many, many hundreds
of
people to this music.

i concur with everyone's feelings...i hooked up with Bruce and Not Lame
thru working on the Raspberries book with Kenny Sharp back in '93, and
was introduced to many on this list in those early years, and both
Anthony and Gary were great catalysts and fans who weren't afraid to
try and make a difference with their passions and even putting their
monies where their hearts were....it's easy to take sides and be
critical, but folks like Gary, and Bruce too, have believed so
passionately in sharing their time and energies with something so
seemingly simple as the music they love....
not to be corny, but people like Gary and Anthony and Bruce and Jamie
and everyone else who takes more than just a love of this music we love
and strive and NEED to hear, and put their souls into it, deserve our
lasting prasing and love and loyalty.
sleep well, our friend.
