I heard some very sad news last night. An old friend, Tom who I had the privelidge of playing in a band with tragically suffered heart failure and died recently. He was only 33 years old.

I hadn’t been in touch with Tom for several years, but I will miss him. Quiet, but confident, a great musician and a wry sense of humour, Tom I’ll never forget you and the laughs we had for the short time we were “Proteens”!

I am reminded again of how precious life is and every moment spent with self-concern, complaint & not really “being there” is a tragic waste.

Rest in Peace Tom.
