Jume Vechayiem. The bass player

[napman]

Yes I realized that he's nobody to anyone here at "Nimit",
but he was one of my musician friends in USA.

I met him first time in mid 70s in Los Angeles when he was the bass player in a rock band that Paul Peckanan (now resided back in BKK) was the lead guitar with their other 3 American musicians while I was a bass player in another rock band "ON THE ROCK".

He's also mingled with another legendary Thai guitarist Somchai Kamlertkul while he resided in California (Chai are back in BKK just like Paul P)

I was impressed with Jume's playing style and such, he was about 5 years younger than me.

We didn't see each other for so many years until I recently got back to MUSIC again. And our friendship blossom.

We found out that we liked to talk to each other in the same intimate BASS language since we were both the bass players that nobody elses would understand.

This morning my "ON THE ROCK" bandmate "Nana" emailed me and informed me about Jume passed away peacefully at 7,30 am at his home from his lingered cancer cause.

This is just to honor my dear friend "Jume" from me and to remind you guys of "Here today, gone tomorrow".

My friend "Jume"'s time is up, he's lived a good life, made people happy from his musical point of view.

Have you done yours?

Here's his faded picture that sooner or later his memories will inevitably fade out of his friends' memories.



And here's another picture of our jamming, he's playing drum on the left while our other friend Nana played guitar in the middle and I played bass on the right;



Thanks for reading down to this line my younger friends, LIFE IS SHORT, DO IT NOW!!!
