I met Bev in Caux Palace first year I was on my scholarship there (peace, not art scholarship). Performing this song. I was lifted somewhere above the Alps at that moment and will forever connect this melody with Swiss Alps. When I was to departure home Bev sang it for me in small cafe that existed there then and another friend that happened to share the moment with me. I am not sure if he ever knew what that did for me, because I myself did not fully understand it until now. I was so young that I could not see that I will forever be soaring on those eagles wings, across many skies and turbulent waters, and that that eagle is me. And that the mountains and the moment will be forever etched in my heart. It was more than a moment, it was a moment of pure spirit in action, a launch.
I saw Bev after that many times when I came back to Caux, but that was a spirit at work. He saw domething in me I myself did not know I have, and even offered me a scholarship for artist program, that I refused as I am not a theatre performer and did not want to take a place of someone who is. I did not even see myself as an artist for a long time...
The last time we spoke was 2 years ago, to connect with someone and share news. I wish I had connected more but I driffted away from Caux a bit to be able to do what I do now.
It is Bev's handwtiting on a photo where he erote Pipin's song for me and I will frame it now. 🙏🙏🙏💜😢
I feel so blessed by having had a chance to meet Bev in person, and call him a friend. A distant friend, but still a friend. He touched many lives and helped many artists, many people. Thank you for everything.
Rest easy, rest in peace, dear friend. You have built quite a legacy. 😭
