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.
