When you are young , you rush into life and waste it by doing this or that. You think it won't end or diminish or fall apart on you; since you feel bullet proof.

Then years later, you slow down and look back at what was and ask what is left or where has it all gone? But really, you need to look at who you were with and who influenced you and visa versa. Look at what you learnt and still can learn, plus what you can now pass on to the many that are still willing to listen. Those younger ones missed out on the years greatest musical heros of the 50's, 60's, maybe even the 70's and 80's and their styles and musical creations.

Joy is in the ears that hear, even while our hearts break when we look at the empty chair at the table.

I am an Auzzie and so was Nigel, but he was also multinational in his love for music and sharing of anythink connected to that. Hope we can continue in the same vain and keep the ship afloat and keep sharing our love for music.
