Ode to Kevin Kevin I miss your contagious smile I miss you vibrant beat wait... if I listen if I get still you are still here in my heart I still have glimpses of you in my physical being in the world around me there are reminders I remember I smile I get fired up one more time I cry once more I get in touch with the bigness with the heart with my mission with my purpose with the life force beating inside my heart KEVIN I miss you KEVIN I wish to not forget to not go numb to not go back to sleep NO it is time to awaken time to vibrate time to stir time to shout dance illuminate m heart be a catalyst to others bring more life and heart and drum beat more heart beat to the world

I feel blessed to have gotten to make music with Kevin so much, in the many puppet shows, and various bands. He always inspired me to play better, and to be a better person. All my love, forever, gabe

I am a HUGE Hipbone fan and have been since I first time I heard their music back in college. I was even fortunate enough to catch them play a couple of times. I am a professional bellydancer today and I recently performed a choreography to "Radius" at some bellydance shows. This past weekend after talking with another dancer who lives in the triangle area, (who had inquired about the song), come to find out she knew Kevin and he did drumming for her hooping group from time to time. Then she also told about Kevin's passing and I was totally floored. Looking at his work now I see that his music and his talent are a testament to what is possible in this life and that you should never take the time you have for granted. This is an artist who's work will continue to inspire all who knew him or loved his music.
