Super Freak Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 One of my memories of Jesse is in London at an after party...Jesse wanted me to play something on the guitar and for whatever reason, I decided to "try" to play him You Are Beautiful by Christina Auguilera-and badly I might add as I can't play worth a shit after a few drinks. I have no idea why I would risk an ass chooing or eternal razzing for playing a pop tune at a hippy party but I did. Jesse didn't judge or laugh...well maybe he laughed a little, I know I did.It seems fitting so, this one's for Jesse:Everyday is so wonderful And suddenly, it's hard to breathe Now and then, I get insecure From all the pain, I'm so ashamed I am beautiful no matter what they say Words can't bring me down I am beautiful in every single way Yes, words can't bring me down, oh no So don't you bring me down today To all your friends you're delirious So consumed in all your doom Trying hard to fill the emptiness, The pieces gone, Left the puzzle undone, Ain't that the way it is? You are beautiful no matter what they say Words can't bring you down, no, no You are beautiful in every single way Yes words can't bring you down, oh, no So don't you bring me down today No matter what we do No matter what we say We're the song inside the tune Full of beautiful mistakes And everywhere we go The sun will always shine But tomorrow we might awake On the other side 'Cause we are beautiful, No matter what they say Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no We are beautiful in every single way Yes, words can't bring us down, oh no So don't you bring me down today Don't you bring me down today Don't you bring me down... todayGoodbye Jesse. I feel privileged to have known you, even just a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 This post wacked me like a ton of bricks. Eric, Julia, Des, Amber, my heart goes out to you guys.Boogieknight was one of the first 100 people to join this forum on sept.25, 2001. He was a great contributor of positive posts here. He helped make this community a joyful place. I don't recall him ever getting involved in the many heated exchanges.Even nice people can act like assholes online, hiding behind a persona, but his true, kind personality spoke on here which I believe is the way it should be. RIP Boogieknight - Thanks for sharing all the good things you experienced with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 elemeno has one of Jesse's guitars at our place that hasn't been played in a while. I tuned it up and gave it a run last night in his memory. Made me smile I'm glad that I'm not the only one who's experienced that feeling with his gear. Jesse got a vintage Bass awhile back that always reminds me of being home. Whether it was playing music with him in Peterborough or playing an identical (but well-worn) bass at a family-friends' farmhouse rehearsal space in Kemptville, I always had a reason to smile and let loose. I remember playing a beautiful hollowbody guitar when I lived in London and as it goes I couldn't afford to buy it for myself I thought that Jesse deserved to at least try the thing out. Well, he did and it made its way into his collection. Turns out that instrument was very rare. I remember him talking to me about it and how amazed he was that it wanted to be played. My friend Dave Klinger had recently found his way back to London from Sweden where he'd studied music and toured as a guitarist and after going through a rough patch and given up guitar. Jesse asked him to try out his guitar and something clicked for Dave. Now he's touring the country with country singer Jaydee Bixby (hey it's a gig) and if Jesse had never bought that guitar it could be argued that things would be very different for him and for myself. I know I've been going through a really rough couple of years and Jesse snapped me out of a couple of ruts just talking about how far he'd come in the past while with his songs and playing his instruments.

M Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 This post below is a message written by Jeremy Little. I'm sharing it on the site for him as he doesn't have a login. More beautiful memories of Jess.... "my last great hang with jesse truely shows how awesome and selfless he was. two winters ago, when collett band and elkas band were doing a run of shows, we played the moho. that night there was a big snow storm and the roads were shit. jesse and amber opened their to home to both bands. gav and i had spent countless night's in jesse and amber's home after burt gigs, but now they opened their home to strangers as well. a long night was had...great times! they next day, after little desmond gave us an impromtu solo set and a massive family meal at the only, the tour took us to kingston. mike (guitar player collett's band) left his guitar at jesse's house. the morning after the kinston gig we were on our way to play lee's. jesse and amber got in the car and drove mike's guitar down to the 401 to meet us, just to save us time. collett and crew could not stop talking about the generousity from our gracious hosts. i kept telling the crew that this was jesse. i told everyone of this sad news, and everyone sends their warm wishes. they felt privledged to have had this experience.i will cherish all the moments i shared with jesse.

SaggyBalls Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 When I was in London, my Grandfather had become ill and my Father, Aunt, and myself were set to the task of packing up the old family home and going through the many trinkets, books, collectibles, and what have you. On the many travels over the UK, my grandparents built up a pretty large collection of Bosson Heads and wall sculptures. Of these I took roughly half, and I proudly hung them on the wall over an antique chair in my apartment.I remember walking into Amber & Jesse's place, looking over on the wall and seeing a head on the wall, and though it wasn't a 'Bosson', being reminded of my collection and the few times I had visited my Grandfather as a child.Anecdotes aside, The guy made me feel at home even without all of the little touches that tied into my life.

MoMack Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Friendly - or anyone for that matter - Is there a spot that was helpful to Jesse or that is doing good research that donations can be made to? Google brings up many, but if there were places that were helpful to Jesse we would like to make a donation on his behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
