about
I have produced this track using surprisingly compatible music samples from both Jimbo and Mr. Nimoy. I count it to be a terribly strange, wonderful, and sad coincidence that Leonard Nimoy passed on the exact same day that I was working on a memorial song for Jimbo (as I had already planned for a couple weeks). Even more bizarre is the fact that Nimoy had recorded a song, "Billy Don't Play the Banjo Anymore," that fit what I was doing for Jimbo, not just musically but also thematically and lyrically.
Here is the finished version, it's still free (or pay what you like). I hope that you all will accept it, as a free download, with the same sort of gratitude that I feel for both Jimbo and Leonard Nimoy, having each touched my life in a deep, lasting, and meaningful way.

by PseudocideKadin (Pseudocide) is an old friend, yet somehow it came as a surprise a while back when I learned that he's actually really talented. I recommend this album because of the Typhoid Andy remix on it!
