OBIT

He was a real talent, but never achieved the status I thought he should have. I only saw him live once, with his band "Wonderwheel".

I thought Spooky Tooth would be big

RIP Gary

Just found out a close friend from school passed away

Kept meaning to contact her for the past couple of years but didn't get around to it
Too 'busy'
Not impressed with myself at all

RIP Hazel
