Subject: RE: Obit: Mick Gardiner - Teesside (30 Apr 2014)
Sorry Betsy, just saw this... Sorry to hear of Mick's departure and your loss of what had clearly been a dear friend. But no worries about the fundraiser being on the same night as my gig - heck, had I known, I might have dropped in!

As it turned out, I finished that gig with the Last Song - it could have been dedicated to Mick:

If this is the last song, don't let it be sad.
Let faces be smiling; let hearts now be glad.
For there is no reason our parting to mourn:
For each thing a season, for each night a dawn.
So join in the chorus, let voices go free;
If this is the last song, please sing it with me.

R.I.P. Mick
