John Sims
My Friend and fellow world citizen, John Sims passed away at his home in Sarasota, Florida on December 11, 2022. In the entirely too brief time of our friendship, I worked with him on 4 projects - AfroDixie Remixes (City Lights Bookstore, SF), "Hurricane Aretha" on which I provided vocals, Burn and Bury on which I provided "newsreels" regarding Confederate Flag news around the country and "Pi Day" poetry, where I wrote poetry about the irrational, transcendental number and performed it with him and a group of poets, physicists and a baker or two... I created video content, wrote an article that was published in a local paper and I explored what I knew and needed to know. I found a true friend in John and miss him every day.
