Thank you. I really do miss those days of hanging out in his shed, playing music, and working on mini-bikes and go-carts. The day he passed, I went to his house after work like any other day to have a beer in the shed and no one was there. I knocked on the door of the house and no answer either, so I left. I found out hours later he had been gone for quite a while before I got there and was found on his bedroom floor by his daughter.

I made a tune in his honor, but I was so emotional and drained I just used a backing track. I've always thought he deserved better than just that but I haven't been able to bring myself to record anything.

How terrible for his daughter.

That's a really cute photo of him. I hope that one day, when you feel ready, you'll record that tribute tune.

It was terrible for sure. The poor kid. She's such a sweetheart too.

Here's the one with the BT:

Left Alone

That might be my favorite of everything you've recorded. It's really beautiful, and given who it was composed for and the title and knowing the backstory now - brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for sharing that.

I never talked about my mate Rosi until years after, and it felt better for that..
Us in San Juan de Alicante.
The last time she came over to visit us in Spain. Weird I see still her hair as Ginger and its almost Grey...We met in infants school and shared our lives.When she moved to Hastings, now that was hard for us both..Not so long though we moved to nearby Bexhill a stones throw away. People called her nurse nightingale...she was loved by so many.

enjoyed your music a lot.

I'm not crying you're crying.

...oh wait. We're both crying.

Thank you ribbons. Man, I was in a bit of a drunken stupor for the better part of that year.

Thats quite the scenic view. Good to have close friends and go on adventures, and you both look just peachy. Two peas in a pod. Sorry to hear, my friend.
