Moi when i saw the line 'SAY IT AIN'T SO JO' by GmaSue, i'm sorry i could not resist this song.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VZDyOaEI-4

And somehow its somewhat prophetic words, have the same impact on me as they did in 1979 when i bought the single, [ I was 15, and my first girlfriend was leaving to live in New Zealand 'sob-sob']

Its very rare when a man can put his life experiences into words in such a colourful and awe inspiring way, and to use humour and satire to disguise pain and adversity. It's even harder to be able to reach out and connect to so many people, in such an inspirational and meaningful way, but you have done this Moi, and done it splendidly, in a humble and affectionate way.

As i do the guy thing [and gulp loudly, thrust back my shoulders, and bit my bottom lip to prevent the simultaneous tears from streaming down my face] I wish you, Moss, and your young family an exciting future, everlasting sunsets, and more love than your hearts can hold.

You have been a source of great encouragement to me Moi, and your pressance will be missed but totaly and justifiably be understood.
