Dear Joanne,Jim and family,
I am so, so shocked and sad to hear of Carson’s sudden passing. My heart goes out to all of you. We had hoped that Carson would one day come to play his music here on Hornby Island. Instead, we’d like to dedicate the first performance by local musicians (or Jim) in our amphitheatre in Carson’s honour. Wish we could be there to support you, but you are in our thoughts often. Sending our love….
