It's really heartening to read all the posts here. Fortunately, Nic is alive & well. He does play & sing at home,(often his own songs),but enjoys it more when there's someone with whom he can play...we've had some wonderful weekends together over the last year or so. Nic & Dave & I have no plans to tour, but if we did, I'm sure we wouldn't be short of an audience or two!
