Subject: Kerry Olditch, we'll always remember you

Hi folks,

I've just heard the news that our dear friend Kerry Olditch died on March 17, aged (I think) 23. Unfortunately I don't know the cause of death. [Later found to be suicide by overdose of antidepressants with alcohol.]

Kerry was a wonderful violinist who it was always a great pleasure for me to play with, in Bhakti, Dharma Bums and lounge rooms around the place. Some of her inspiring natural style can be heard on the EthnoSuperLounge CD.

Kerry,
when you played you
freed us from all cares.
I hope that you've now found
the freedom you yourself were seeking.

Love to all
Shen
