I am not sure when or where in the folk dens of Brisbane I first met Ian. Imdo know that he knew stuff, that he was so,supportive of everyone, that his heckles were some of the greatest put downs I've ever had to respond too...but respond I did, he made my fear of performing vanish, he made me feel in a silenced room, I was playing for friends. We did plot against the MC a few times,muso wonderfully juvenile.
I missed the wake he was at last week, it takes a lot to drive me to tears, I knew as he did his days were numbered, but there was no sadness or regret.
Seeya round dear friend.
