Shock, sorrow, disbelief, dismay and even frustration... Those are some of the emotions that I and many others felt when We heard about the passing of our friend Julio Tomiyama. But I hope that in time those emotions will make room for some beautiful memories that we have of when we spent time with this great guy.
Julio had two great sides. One side was the one of the nice, calm, relaxed and polite. No matter who Julio interacted with, he always saw the positive side in everyone and everything. The other side came appearent when Julio would hit the stage with his guitar. Out of nowhere there was like a lion coming out of him. He had this guitar pedal which had a blue LED light and when hit that switch on, you know you would get some magical fireworks.
Julio reminds me of positivity and dedication. No bullshit and go for what you want to reach. And do that with both love and strength.
Brother, I hope you have some wonderful jams up there. Thank you for all that you gave. Miss you, peace!
