Kit and I wrote many songs together in the early 80's. We had a recording studio on High St. West Chester Pa. We also wrote jingles for advertising companies for radio. We also did session's together at world famous Sigma sound studio in Philadelphia... few people I've ever met had a higher energy level and positive vibe than Kit.... you will be missed brother
