Funny how you think of things and flip around on the internet and only to find out that the very soul you were thinking of has passed away. In the late seventies and early eighties Nigel and I crossed paths, dated for awhile and shared time and thoughts in and around the Toronto area. Used to go watch him play and once sent him a cookie gram to request that he play one of my favorite tunes for me one evening...'Beat Me'...would never get away with this politically incorrect tune these days but then it always made be laugh...scuba flippers, burlap, cream cheese and all. Thanks for the memories, especially the ones where the dog howled while you learned to play the fiddle....you were a one of a kind my friend....Catherine Norman-Donovan, Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia
