Call me a girl, but I thought it might be nice to share some memories of Andy, so here's my favourite moment: I had Andy & Fil out to play a show in SF in Fall of 2000 (I think). We had a great time during the show and the next day when I took them around town. (Here's a photo from that day: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=832349&l=eedf756436&id=530464501) Years later I finally made it over to London, and I'm sure it comes as no surprise that I had a number of Orb-related activities planned. I spent one day at Smiley's house, playing records and hanging out in his lovely garden. Then we were headed back into town for an Orb show (sans Andy - this was while they were on the outs) and to meet up with some of the other listees. We planned to have an early drink with Andy but it was a harrowing journey into town - traffic was worse than unusual, and IIRC, Smiley's car had a couple issues along the way, too. Suffice to say, we were pretty late. When we (finally) pulled up, Andy shot us this massive grin - he looked genuinely happy in that one moment. (And he then sent the boys to park the car while he & I went inside and enjoyed a drink - ha!) It was such a lovely evening of catching up.... he really was a top guy, very talented, and much fun to be around...
