Hello, and an off topic request

I haven't been here in a couple years at least. I hope things are going well for you all.

My off topic request: Because I have known many of you for years, I suspect some of you might have downloaded some of Kenneth Jonsson's Bach renditions, which he had called "Acrobatic Bach". I was very enthusiastic about him when I first heard him, and I am sure I recommended him to many of you. I have lost all my recordings of him and would love to have them again. They have disappeared completely from the Internet, and his email accounts no longer work.

If you respond to me by email, please use the address jstarret@....

Thank you all,

John Starrett

Hi John,

I have his CD. It's stunningly excellent. I haven't ripped it.
But I've zipped up the samples that used to be on his website
and placed them here:

http://lumma.org/stuff/kj.zip

It's 28mb of mp3 and midi.

Thank you, Carl. I really appreciate that.

Do you know a current email address for him? I would still like to get the whole CD and the other stuff I collected over the years.

I don't. It was like pulling teeth obtaining the CD in 2003 or -4.
I hope he's OK and still making music!

He was starting to get degenerative hearing loss then. Might be quite deaf by now. What a talented and original guy.
