From Kenny Rawlins

While I never had the pleasure to meet Jeremy, I know that we both shared a
deep passion for the Disco Biscuits. While most people outside the Disco
Biscuit community are unbeknownst to what makes this band and all their fans
special, there really is more going on than just music. Although the music
is what got me addicted, the many friends and events that I've had the
absolute pleasure of experiencing over the past 4 years have truly earned a
large place in my heart to hold with for the rest of my life.

It is because of this band that I have good friends who live in all the
different regions of the country, all of which I am always expected to run
into whenever I travel abroad to get my biscuit fix. I, like Jeremy, was
completely in awe of this band, for what they possess and their ability to
enhance our lives to a spiritual climax. Some of the best experiences in my
life have occurred at biscuit shows, and while to people who don't get it
could never understand, there's an intangible feeling that nothing else out
there can give me...I know Jeremy felt the same way.

Although I've never met Jeremy, I now have a connection with him. After
buying the astonishing benefit painting from the 1/17/04 show, I have had
the pleasure of getting to know Jamie Wainland, and for anyone who knows her
or who has spoken with her...she is an amazing person completely saturated
with positive energy. It's wonderful for someone like Jamie to welcome the
Disco Biscuit community with open arms and be able to comprehend what makes
this unique band so special to so many people.

"And as our bodies fly though space..."

I believe there is something out there besides what we see here on Earth...I
know Jeremy is still out there watching over friends and loved ones...as
well as attending every biscuit show. Now that the painting is a part of my
life and is displayed in all its glory, I'll always know that it is in
loving memory of Jeremy. Furthermore, the painting serves as a constant
reminder for me to appreciate everything I have experienced and felt with
the Disco Biscuits.they are not just another band. I'm utterly thankful to
have had this community be a part of my life for the past 4 years, and I
know that they will all be there for many years to come, for there are still
countless moments to be had, and many more friends to be made. With
everlasting love for the Disco Biscuits, the fans, the Wainland family,
Kira, Skylar, and Jeremy,

~Kenny Rawlins
