Thanks UMB for <i>"indulging it for the sake of future generations". </i>I was quite amused but saddened at the same time, reading and recognizing bits and pieces, and names. I've been lurking around this post on occasion ever since it was written back in 2008, but thought to wisely keep my mouth shut. With my personal experience -however insignificant- meeting Lewis, as well as Mark, as well some other people who have been working with LT (incl. his partner and manager), now that there has been another 'Jake' (who is not me) posting on January 19th, perhaps I should open it. If only to prevent these others thinking it was 'LTM-Jake' making the Re: Mark Ede message on January 19th. <br /><br />I think all this ranting on a personal level is unhealthy and almost scary, and for anyone reading all these suggestive messages and gossip, the anonymous keyboard heroes are ruining the original energy of the blog message by UBM. Obviously besides the individual 'Anonymous' commenter, it looks like there is also troll that has conversations with him or herself inhere, trying to trigger new speculations or disputes. And even though I realize there's millions of Jake's, my name being used on this topic with the info being spread, kinda felt like it's discrediting me with some of the insiders (although they have known me to be quite mad also, lol). Jokingly referring to myself as a 'LT obsessive compulsive' in the past, Like with Larry Alexander and so many others, Lewis Taylor's sounds touched my nerves as well, and I wanted to hear every note he recorded. However, in no way shape or form I want any part in the personal and suggestive rants and gossip that have been put uphere by other commenters, and if it hadn't been for the previous comment dated January 19, I would still only be lurking and shaking my head.<br /><br />I could say a lot on LT's choice to retire and the soap drama it turned into up here and elsewhere, but let's not. All I can say is, that I hope Taylor will find a way to share his amazing talent with us sometime in the (near) future again, detached from feeling compelled or directed in any way by anyone other than himself. Meanwhile, aim for peace folks ㋡Jakenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-37086333263959541752010-01-19T05:03:32.105-08:002010-01-19T05:03:32.105-08:00Re Mark Ede, I've been told about that recent ...Re Mark Ede, I've been told about that recent comment he made from somebody, it's on some private internet group.

I had the luxury of knowing Lewis first for his music and performances and then personally. All this back and forth written about him after your blog, I won't even bother to comment on. <br />All I do know is that when I saw him perform, it was like magic. Personally, I think I can say that I know his soul and whats going on in his heart it's just a shame he has chosen to go into such withdraw. I totally respect his right to remain private in his personal life but do feel saddened if that has left us as music fans without the ability to be part of his amazing talent. <br />I am hopeful that he will come back out of his music shell one day and share again. Until then as a music fan, I remain 'Stoned Part 1'. <br />Thanks for sharing this blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-30962112591596145142009-07-10T12:19:52.081-07:002009-07-10T12:19:52.081-07:00Thought you all might like to know that I saw him ...Thought you all might like to know that I saw him playing guitar with the Edgar Broughton Band last Sunday at a free festival in Barnet.
