Yes, I feel the same and am sure many others do too.  While the 
feeling of shock has gone the feeling of loss will endure. I only 
found this group recently too and it's been good reading others 
thoughts, especially as I don't know anyone else who shares my taste 
in music or more than a passing interest in John's death.

To my own surprise I have found myself listening to more music in the 
last month than probably the last six, must be the way I've found to 
cope I suppose. I have also spent loads more too on new stuff that he 
played in the last few shows.  Also I have started to pick out more 
or less at random one of the many old tapes I have - I never thought 
I'd have time to listen to them, so quick and fast came new tracks to 
tape and hear.  Last night I played one from 1990 with a session by 
MC 900 Foot Jesus and Ill Tip by Silk X Leather amongst others - I'd 
forgotten all them to be honest but they still sounded good!

Lots been said about Rob da Bank's show and that it's mainly living 
off tracks JP had already "starred".  What saddens me is how many new 
things we've already missed in the last month that he would have 
played.  I am going to have to work a lot harder now to find good new 
stuff rather than rely on JP - there's loads of good dance music web 
sites which have short clips you can listen too but that's just one 
field, I am going to need to check out the various internet radio 
shows previous posts have mentioned as well.
