I first saw them play in 2008 and I was intrigued. I watched endless Youtube videos of Amy playing the piano and singing; I admired her for her musical tenacity. They both had a strong presence-- magnetic, even-- (well, at least for me)-- though they said very little. I shared a table and some light conversation in 2012 of Groovefest American Music Festival, where we had both played that day. I am genuinely sad to hear this. I have never forgotten them, and I never will. I hope the world will be touched by their music and their story for years to come. I often fantasized about meeting them again or playing a show with them someday... or at least hearing more of their music... I will miss those thoughts... I will miss the presence of Amy and Derrick in the world.
