The Music and Art of Kevin Michael Tillman

And so a great era comes to an end.

Steve has had a major effect on my life from the day the APPLE II came out.

Our high school had one in the computer class. The “Lab” was a 8′ x 8′ store room between two class rooms. I loved that machine and aced the class. I also acted as a teacher’s assistant for that class. That was the early eighties.

When I was on the Moosbrugger (DD-980) in the Navy, I compiled our department’s Damage Control Manual on a Macintosh (1985.)

And since 1996, Macintosh computers and Apple products have been in my life and helped form my music and art.

The world will be just a little dimmer without the glow of Steve Job’s light of innovation and wonder.

I’m in the middle of week 2 of class and so far so good. So far, we’ve discussed rhythm notation and standard conventions around that.

The instructor’s father died on Monday, so my heart goes out to his family.
