In the local session where I play each week One 86years old gentleman John Gunning used to sing his own songs. He was dying from emfasema(Cant spell it) so a few of us decided to record his songs. Graham Pirt who sings with Cockersdale agreed to sing on the c.d. and we produced a very limited edition C.D. A few weeks later John Gunning attended the session so we presented it to him. There were tears in his eyes when he explained that he had always wanted a tape of his songs but a C.D. was beyond his wildest hopes. A few months later he was in hospital with tubes attached and his son said he didn't recognise anyone and was on the way out. I suggested he took the C.D. to the hospital. They played his music and he opened his eyes and told the nurses and other patients that these were his songs. From that time he began to improve a little and we are now expecting him to come home and if possible to have another night with us in the music session which he enjoys so much.
