Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When the Tide Turns (Vin Garbutt)
Anyone have guitar chords, preferably in D? Thanks.

Spent hours today listening to Vin's youtube videos.

When I spent time with him and Martyn Windham- Reade in Dunoon several years ago, I said to Vin: You are rhe funniest person I've ever met.
He told me he does that intentionally because his song subjects are so serious.

At a later concert in Bridgewater, my mobile rang during his performance. Mega humiliating! I apologized profusely. Vin was incredibly gracious and funny, saying, "That's someone calling to tell me not to sing! "

I havent seen him for at least 6-7 years, but last night during the time he was struggling with his life transition, I just couldn't sleep, and then saw the notice that he had just passed. Funny, it is not only about how close you are with another person, but the impact their life has had on you.

He was just so very special because his voice, songs, spirit and humour touched us all in so many ways.
