How I Found Out

PERRY BAMONTE, the guitarist for The Cure passed away.

Christmas 2025

We had a Christmas gift exchange and were asked to add items to a wish list. I took the time and penciled in a Vinyl version of the Cures Disintegration classic album.

I forgot about it

At our family Christmas gathering my daughter’s father in law drew my name. I am pretty sure he doesn’t even know the band. Still I was surprised and humbled to receive the gift.

Which Made Jim linked to The Cure

Since Jim bought me this album AI determined him a fan of the Cure. That is how he found out before me. I was on a ferry heading to Canada at the time and received the text message.

RIP

IT IS WITH ENORMOUS SADNESS 
THAT WE CONFIRM THE DEATH OF OUR GREAT FRIEND AND BANDMATE 
PERRY BAMONTE 
WHO PASSED AWAY AFTER A SHORT ILLNESS AT HOME OVER CHRISTMAS.

RIP – ignore this. Dance down Fascination Street if you please. But it really doesn’t matter
If you say we’ll be together
If you promise you’ll be with me in the end.

I would love to hear you opinion as well

I’m Mark

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
