From kiddie discos at school friends' homes in The Netherlands around 1990 hearing the overpowering unbeatable "Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night...." chorus
To all the songs, all of them, all the ideas, all the visual stuff, all the crazy stuff, all the beautiful stuff, all the spoken word stuff, all the inspiration you drew from and passed on
To inspire me to tinker on keyboards teaching myself some piano and composition and doing some of my own performances with your music, even getting a wow reaction from a packed teenage crowd performing Anything for Love on keyboards in 1995 at the Patronaat in Haarlem, The Netherlands (unforgettable).
To inspire me to learn about the importance of dynamics and counterpoint in music
To inspiring me to discover Pandora's Box and other musicals from Andrew Lloyd Webber and beyond.
To making me see Meat Loaf sing your gorgeous songs live for the first time in 1996
To continuing to make me follow Meat's live journey, meeting the man himself, the band, Patti () & making friends
To inspiring me to discover Springsteen and all his stuff
To making me tear up every time when listening to that one unreleased piece that is so god damn beautiful with your hammering piano: Vespers / Angels Arise
To you personally taking the time to appreciating my love for your lyric "Looks like it's gonna be a dark one tonight..."
To inspiring me to dream when I listen to music, always
To inspiring me to always wanting to go over the top to see what's on the other side...

For that I thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you very much Jim!

Rest in peace my dearest friend.
