[...] I know this is older news but since the last time I wrote, I’m sorry to say we’ve lost another friend. As many of you already know, Jamie Duffy, Long time Chicago musician and fellow artist onstage with Connelly, Barker, Van Acker, Buford and Brill last year, passed away earlier this year. Jamie was crucial in recreating from scratch most of the samples and music that were used for the Revolting Cocks songs during the Retrospectacle. It would have been a completely different show (or no show at all) had he not been involved both on stage and behind the scenes. Last month, a sold out benefit concert was organized. The 13 band lineup was an amazing bill…created in response to a not so amazing circumstance. We know the Retrospectacle lineup, sans Van Acker, were honored to close out the night playing most of the Revco songs they had performed with Jamie last year. The outpouring of support encouragement was wonderful but not surprising considering Jamie’s contribution around Chicago. You can find more about Jamie and the past event at coldwaves.net as well as read a touching piece by fellow artist and friend, Jim Marcus about Jamie at RE GEN. [...]

Yep, I loved Jaime too. Just learning of this now, thanks Jim for distilling a tiny piece of Jamie’s essence here. Floods of memories coming back from the early 90′s when we were friends. Pat if you look back at these comments, just want to express my condolences.

Wow I’m just finding out about Jamie this is so sad. Jim such a beautiful, heartfelt expression it brought tears to my eyes and warmth to my heart. It’s been many years since I’ve been back to Chicago on the scene but I have always remembered it felt so much better and more like a family I miss those days. God bless Jamie and his family he will be truly missed and I am so sorry for your loss Jamie was a great guy! I remember Jamie learning and honing his craft when he first started at Trax and he was always there and ready with a smile!

Jim – What seems like a hundred years ago now, I was the local rep in Phoenix for Acumen’s label. I’m sitting here with tears on my cheeks but also with a smile thinking of the fun times and of the music. To all who knew Jamie and read this please accept my condolences on your loss. Jim, I’d like to share your words with everyone I know. Maybe its because 99% of the people in my life are creative types that I’ve known so many who could benefit from them. Myself included. The light of day isn’t always easy to see. Rest In Peace Jamie. Over and over in my head I’m hearing “…I just wanna be heard, at 33 1/3…”

[...] The name Jamie Duffy probably doesn’t mean much to most of you. It didn’t mean much to me when my friend Arthur held out the first Acumen CD I had even seen, with this gleam in his eye and grin on his face – He knew he had a good thing, and was eager to share it, with me, and on our show on WDGC. I never met the man, but hearing about his death saddened me, and I trolled the webs, looking for some explanation for the events. I haven’t really found one, but I found a great post about it on Regen. [...]
