Kevin Parks is the gentleman's name, and his wife, Louise contacted me through our site messaging system. I suspect she meant this note for us all:
"Kevin died April 28, 2010 after an unsuccessful trip to a Mexico clinic. As his wife, I watched how much you all meant to him, and how much you added to these last two years of his life. Because of your friendship and help with his music, he hardly had time to notice how sick he was.
Thank you all so very much
Louise Parks"

 Thanks, Oren, for relaying the message to us. My thoughts go out to Louise. She has been his rock. I think you all know what Wyatt meant to me. We did so much work together and he was a total inspiration. The Elderly Brothers will not be finished, however. I still have a folder full of bits and pieces from him that we have been working on, some finished and some 'in progress', which I shall continue to produce. James

Yes indeed,many thanks to Oren for the message.In addition to many collaborative efforts Kevin & I have partaken in,I am also very fond of our many conversations via e-mail and I wish I had the opportunity to visit him & shake my friend's hand.
Kevin is in my thoughts everyday & even though I never had the pleasure of communicating with his wife Lousie,my heart goes out to her for her immense loss & I wish her all the best.

This is a great loss to our community.
Although I never met Kevin we did a couple of collaborations together and we did communicate via email quite frequently. I will miss him.
My prayers go out to Louise.

This is very sad news  Kevin known here as Wyatt was a great guy and a very special musician. I've never met a musician like him before, he was able to think 'out of the box' and take a song in a very special direction. My special thoughts and condolences to Louise We will all miss him here k |

I find I'm still coming to terms with this, even though I half suspected. What I find very moving is the number of tributes both here and over on KVR.
I wonder if there is any way to let Louise know about them all.

Will, I have been talking to Louise by e-mail these past two days. Needless to say she is totally devastated, but I have told her about the many tributes, for which she is eternally grateful. When the time is right I will try to direct her to some of the musical tributes, if she so wishes.  James |

Be back later

This is our goodbye to Kevin...
Title : The liquid silver
Lyrics :
An artist above the common
A great Strat player
He played his style
Adding his proper touch
He played in all venues
Giving a lot of pleasure
for a audience that loved him
One day, he had a plan
wanted to sail the ocean
He build his sailing-boat
And left sailing
He visited the planet
With all his dreams in his head
With Louise and his luggage
Showing here the most beautiful beaches
Chorus:
The liquid silver, almost fluid
A very precious metal
For a happy artist
The liquid silver
You'll always be with us
I know you can see us
From up there, above us all
Verse :
An artist above the common
A great Strat player
He played his style
Adding his proper touch
He played on the Internet
Together with us, his faithful fans
Now, he doesn't play any more
No, he won't play again....
I hope Louise will hear this song
k
