Kyle Barnett



Kyle Barnett, aka The Lyric Wizard (1961-1998). He passed away on June 24 1998 at the age of 36: he never woke up from his after dinner nap. The oldtimers here will remember him from his postings to the SCC and AMJT. He ended every posting and email with an appropriate lyric quote from a Tull song. His sense of humour was remarkable. He was my first virtual friend and we had a cordial correspondence going on for two years, eventually leading to the idea for a website with lyrics and annotations... We planned to do this together. In fact it was he who came up with the title of the site: Cup Of Wonder. We worked on the first phase of the project together and since his passing away obstructed our collaboration, I decided to dedicate the site to him and accomplish the job on my own, which I did last month. I still miss him.
