Vince's voice lit up a room. His smile lit up or living room.<br />davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07135992921485306480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21118726.post-72982152578824101722017-04-11T04:34:24.183-07:002017-04-11T04:34:24.183-07:00Was just digging through our CD's and found th...Was just digging through our CD's and found the west coast diaries by Charlie. Looked them up on Spotify and noticed that "live in the Netherlands" was on there. I was in that audience. They hit like a hammer. It was the single most impressive musical moment of my life. And all of us were devastated five years later. Halfway round the world. The guy made am impression.<br /><br />So, I went looking for some insight into the why but it seems there is none. Above blog is all I could find.<br /><br />Look up that recording. It's magnificent and Vince shines.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12699806924826542237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21118726.post-90128208576501790222011-12-08T20:12:22.208-08:002011-12-08T20:12:22.208-08:00Great to hear from you, Anonymous.

I did not realize the suicide actually did occur until now.

I remember saying I hoped he'd have an album of his own. When I heard it finally happened, I was really happy for him. When I heard he'd committed suicide, I had questions...so many about my own conversation with him. I'm sorry he's gone.<BR/>Thanks for sharing this.Michael Neal Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10108115040414359782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21118726.post-89921256133513631262008-03-29T11:13:00.000-07:002008-03-29T11:13:00.000-07:00Peggy:what an honor to hear your story.If we could...Peggy:<BR/><BR/>what an honor to hear your story.<BR/><BR/>If we could just live out his smile..davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07135992921485306480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21118726.post-63892028417431019892008-03-29T03:52:00.000-07:002008-03-29T03:52:00.000-07:00I remember Vince's smile.

Who could forget it?<BR/>We went to highschool here in Sacramento & I was lucky enough to have a best friend who happened to be his road manager -- Roy Arimoto.<BR/>His death haunts me, I suppose, because I never ever realized or detected the pain, anguish or depression he must have been experiencing.<BR/>I spoke with his dad about a year after the tragic event and he refused to believe that Vince would take his own life but had no reasonable alternatives of what really could have happened.<BR/>Just Tragic. The power he had was undefineable.<BR/>Thank you for your beautiful blog<BR/>Peggy BakarichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
