Mr. Javierre was known to followers of The Holy Rollin Stone as El Cajon, or sometimes El Cabron. The Sheik of Shake shall be fondly remembered sitting astride his Box playing to his own inimitable fashion, ie, with two left hands! His enthusiasm was boundless however, so the marraccas won't shake in quite the same way now he has departed.
His talents showed themselves more in the StonedHolyKitchen, La Cocina, than in the Rhythm Department and his slow cooked beef shall long remain in Holy Rollin Folklore!.....he was also educated thouroughly in the ways of Fabada & Cocido!!
Our paths shall cross again, I'm sure of it (especially as he's assured us of a few gigs in Madrid in July!) but if they don't, we wish him well wherever it is that this life will take him. Who amongst us knows where it is this wonderful life will carry us? A little piece of Luck and a Warm Heart are good things to have in your pocket for, goodness knows, this World got fucked up long before any of us presently in it got here and the Vicissitudes of Life are many and the Forces of Darkness & Death & Negative Energy are ever present, waiting to drag us down to their joyless & embittered level. A Warm & Beating Human Heart that knows Love Is All & Love Is Everything should see you alright.....and such was Ignacio's!.........So
So Long Ma Friend
Will I Ever See You Again
If I Don't Then I Hope
That You Get Where You're Going To!
Maybe I'll See You Sometime
Maybe We'll Meet Up Down The Line
Your Road's Your's & Ma Road's Mine
So Don't Worry 'Bout Me, I'll Be Doin' Just Fine!
So Long, It's Been Good To Know Ya
I Hope It's Been Good For Ya
If We Never, Ever Meet Again
Think Kindly of Me, Ma Friend!
