I'm sorry to hear about his death. I listen regularly to home truths on Saturday mornings on the internet. (I feel like that character in the Somerset Maugham novel). He introduced us to some great music. It must have been quite a burden to be the "man that discovered Fleetwood Mac".

It's a chunk out of my life. Best wishes to Sheila and all his family, he was so enjoying his grandson.
