a few posts from the steelbender forum, from moderater and site owner ,Jason barker





Hey folks,

Some of you might be aware that our beloved Steve Hudson, aka "Carolina Slim", is very ill. Things are not looking particularly good at the moment.

I will be traveling along with an entourage of fellow musicians and his friends to pay a "surprise" visit to him tomorrow, providing that his condition will allow for our schedule to go on as planned.

If you feel it in your heart, simply think a few good thoughts and aim them toward him.

If you would like to post any messages to Steve and can have them ready to go by early Sunday afternoon, then I will be happy to print them and carry them with me. He's in the hospital about a couple hours away from me, so I don't know how many more opportunities I'll have to get something down there.

Thanks,

Jason



and




Thanks again for all the notes.

We all went down to visit Steve, and ended up playing for him in his room. We received unprecedented clearance to do this from the hospital, and I send my deepest gratitude to them for their efforts in making it happen. He gave the thumbs up- can't really talk any more. He's obviously in severe physical decline at this time, and his nurse told me this morning he continues to deteriorate today.

I printed out the messages for him in large type and he has them where they can be read.

Depending on how things occur, there's a realistic chance I will not be able to get back down to see him early this week, which might mean not again. Let's all just keep him in our hearts and hope for his peace and some comfort.

I'll post more info as it becomes available.

Jason




and




Steve is reportedly in his last "24-48" hours according to the latest. His reverend is with him now. I'm sad to hear this; but at least he's not alone. I'll keep everyone updated.

Thanks,

Jason





and sadly





Steve Hudson, sometimes known as Slim, other times known as things that can't be posted here, died this morning at 1:06 AM EST.

As many of you know, he was a longtime member of the Steelbender community. Thank you for all of the thoughts you sent his way during his illness.

I will miss his presence, humor and friendship. It's difficult to let somebody go that you care about; but given how his physical struggles were taking an enormous toll, I take comfort in the belief that he's not going through the pain that he went through this past week.

RIP Carolina Slim. Love ya.

A link to Lava Cables, news regarding memorial for Steve Hudson. Plans are in motion to create a plaque commemorating Slim at one of his favorite places- the Cumberland County Public Library in Fayetteville, NC.
