He passed away 10 years ago so I didn't see any wrong in posting this. Especially when Kim herself talks about it in the upcoming sy bio.
I was surprised by this info because I accidentally came across with one of Gordon's books in my work without knowing it is Kim's dad. |

He seemed to be very interesting indeed. As far as I know, his sociology was very conservative dealing with issues such as structure and order. On the other hand his taste in art and music was unorthodox. According to the bio he was listening to free jazz and thanks to him Kim was introduced to stuff like miles and sanders.
I really like this kind of duality between structure and freedom. In fact that is what I like about sy music. From the first part of the book it seems that both Kim and Thurston were very influenced by their fathers. |
