        A dear friend Bill Gow passed away suddenly yesterday; he was a long-time supporter of my music and about 7 years ago he came out to a club to film this little clip.
        Just a couple of weeks ago he dropped in to show me his new Yamaha acoustic/electric guitar. He was so excited and we planned to get together to jam. But the damn cancer just overwhelmed him.

        In My Life was a favourite of Bill and his wife Anne who also died recently of cancer.
        I can’t think of a better song to pay tribute to a life-long musical friend, especially since he came out that night to film it.
        Rest in Peace Bill.

            En français car je n’ai pas les mots en anglais.

            C’est un bel hommage que tu lui rends tout en délicatesse et sensibilité. C’est touchant et émouvant.

            Mes condoléances les plus sincères.

                          If he died suddenly from cancer, then that’s a lot better than dying a long slow painful death, like a friend of mine with bone cancer is experiencing. And posting this well played duet was a nice tribute to your friend. At least he got to enjoy his Yamaha acoustic for a little while.
