about
Lawson Place is a former church that Jim Lawson bought and rehabbed, converting it into a music studio.
In 2018, Jim was faced with many serious health issues, including a brain bleed due to an arteriovenous malformation on one side of his brain. During diagnosis he suffered a major stroke on the other side of his brain, leaving him unable to walk or talk. While in the hospital he developed a near-fatal case of c.diff, and also status epilepticus, another often-fatal diagnosis. Lots of therapy, hard work, and luck, led to a miraculous recovery. Sadly, in 2022 he was diagnosed with inoperable liver cancer, which he fought valiantly and without complaint until the end in February 2024.
We completed only two projects and had just started a third when the pain took over. Here are the two we finished:
Of course it will not be the same without Jim’s massive musical and audio engineering talents, but we will do our best to continue the music at Lawson Place.
