Tonight remembers a DJ passed
One that I also called friend
Who had been away too long
Who left me with that doleful news.
Those who remember
have said that they wondered
and don't like the answer
but are thankful for closure.
I don't know what else I should do
But play, and say, "This one's for you."

1.The Holy Modal Rounders - Sail Away, Ladies (2:43)
I
got word on Tuesday that Azadine Umarov had passed away back in April.
This is the problem with a virtual life: the real life doesn't know it's
there. To celebrate Azadine's life, I'm playing one of her sets from
2009. Yes, we used to record each other's sets. It was the easiest way
to share music.

What
I hear, going back and listening to this, is a DJ who was really
under-appreciated. Was Az just ahead of her time? Hard to tell.

I'll
also admit, I feel like I'm the only one who remembers sometimes. I'd
make the announcement and most folks would say, "I don't know that
person." The only ones who responded were the old-timers, like myself.
Granted Az hadn't been on SL a lot the last couple of years, so the mind
loses those associations pretty quickly, I guess.
