manitou Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) Funny that you selected that particular song. Marbles recorded a bunch of his favorite music on several CD discs for me - he loved the old stuff - big band, stuff from the 50's and 60's. 'Goodbye Jimmy, Goodbye' was one of the songs on the CD. I just brought in a roommate to live with me. He's a wonderful guy (not a romantic interest, he bats for the other team) but right now he's very scattered, with selling his house and moving in here. I told him that he reminds me of 6 marbles rolling around in a bowl. I have taken to calling him Marbles, as I always did Jim. So, in a sense, Marbles is currently living in a desert in California. Yes, let's raise a glass to the first anniversary of his death. What a fine fellow. Gambei ! (I'd love to know why you call him Dada-Da. I'm sure there'a good story under it) Edited November 27, 2019 by manitou 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wandelaar Posted November 27, 2019 Yes - still miss him. But that's the way it goes: people come and go, until it's our own time to leave. We too often take it for granted that we're still alive. Better make the best of it, because it can be over before you realize it. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rocky Lionmouth Posted November 27, 2019 I still miss him too. Saw a thread resurrected with where he’d posted something funny right at the start, for a moment i forgot it’s 2019 and lived in the years he was here. Still spontaneously notice a Marblehead-ish proximity every now and then, giving him an extra thought and just knowing things are fine in the end. Thanks for posting this guys, best of wishes and warmth to all. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or even not so much separation after all, just a shift in percievability or something. I’m sure he’s keeping busy either way! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silent thunder Posted November 27, 2019 Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler i'm struck so wholly to the core when a loved one passes along with the hole left in their passing is piercing gratitude gobsmacking gratitude because all about me i see this one reality and it centers on me, this little speck and my heart expands and my mind goes blank with the magnitude of it... that out of all the spinning galaxies... out of all the combinations of energies from the remnants of a supernova i got to meet them. that i had the fortune to get to know them... what treasure! then to have had the fortune to share time, to share deep conversation, myriad ideas, realizations and more than a few belly laughs... to get to know them... to count them friend... such treasure as this! miss you dearly my friend. recall you fondly and often... and so deeply grateful, to be able to miss you for having known you, was to expand what i know of me 8 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wandelaar Posted November 27, 2019 Maybe it's an idea to make a topic with favorite Marblehead quotes, as a monument to the guy's wisdom and humor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kyoji Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) I didn't know Marbs like a lot of the longtime members did, but I always loved his presence on this forum. Whether he really had something to say, or he was just singin' for the sake of the song, he contributed a whole lot to this page. I know that he really loved chuang tzu, so..

Limahong Posted November 28, 2019 Jim was involved in the Korean War ~ knowing this, I downloaded Arirang for him at TDB. But the version I had for him then was not what Jim had in mind - and he had it indicated so. I tried again and bingo! Jim like(s/d) this version... 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
