I have listened to and been influenced by the big mans music since we met in London more than 20 years ago. I was once on a boating trip on the upper Thames and fell on a medieval fair on Wallingford common and heard his wonderful music coming over the field. I knew it was him and sought him out, to find him in doublet and hose entertaining the natives.
Another great loss, although his music will surely live on.

See ya Jim.
