Thanks for spotting the post and sharing it, Dan. Lovely, as it so perfectly captures the Kyle I got to know here. We must have had a dozen or more lengthy phone calls over the years. He even played Santa over the phone when my daughter was little. We couldn't locate anyone at the North Pole so our man in Vancouver took the job.

I can't play Belle and Sebastian, Blue Rodeo, or Spirit of the West, without thinking of Kyle's generosity. If I hear Lindsey Buckingham's name, yup, I think of his number #1 fan, Kyle. I remember Kyle's recollection of how the first line to Secret Silken World had him hooked.

I don't have his mom's email but would love to drop her a line.

Your site here, Dan, is keeping memories alive, keeping Kyle's passions and recommendations available to anyone savvy enough to listen. He was a real gent, and I learned a lot from him and am better for it.
