Roger Nichols... (RIP)

Postby Malcolm Boyce » Thu Jan 20, 2011 2:50 am

Well known recordist, columnist, and educator Roger Nichols is fighting cancer these days. This guy's work has influenced me since I first discovered many of recordings, through to his columns and other writing which have been great sources entertainment, as well as a wealth of information.

Right now the Nichols' family is asking for help with the insurmountable expenses that have accumulated since mid last year. It's a bit of a sad state of affairs when a successful person such as Roger can be bankrupted just trying to stay alive.

Visit here to learn more about Roger and his current battle.

I had to make a donation... It was the least I could do after all he's given me over the years.

Word is, Roger passed on earlier today. So sad, and such a loss to the recording world.

This guy's work and words inspired me like few others.

RIP
