So sad to hear about Sam (real name Simon Heathcote-Parker). I also communicated with him in earlier times and was just thinking about him a couple of weeks ago.
I recall that one of our forum members (whose name escapes me - a young lady from Germany or Austria who plays gypsy guitar) lived relatively closeby to Sam, and I understand that they did meet up on occasions.

Thanks for letting us know, Mike.


Cheers,
Keith
