Well, what more can I add to all these tributes?
What a terrible loss, and condolences to Joyce & the family.
I too want to consider Jim and all he had to deal with, prctically & emotionally there in Poland.
At the Bromsgrove Festival, I got Eric Bogle to sing 'Safe in the Harbour'.
During the last Concert, Pete & I sang, Shores of Jordan. Johnny 'collected' this from me & it said it all about his last days & his attitude to life.
We also sang Padstow Farewell Shanty, the whole tent. Hope you heard it, Johnny.

Love to a great inspiration.
Gwyneth & Pete
