I noticed that today that is was member Furry's (Graham Wilson) birthday. He was always an enthusiastic poster but hasn't been online since 2024, and I found these two notes on his channel on YouTube from 3 months ago: "Very sad to learn that you're no longer with us Graham - we were in almost daily contact for many years, mostly about our shared music interests. Thank you for all the laughs and what you taught me about Scottish music - RIP my great pal, Carl" "It was sad news to hear of your passing Graham, we spoke almost daily for the past few years, chatted about so much random nonsense but always having a laugh, I knew if my Facebook alert blipped, it was more than likely an amusing image or story from you, a picture of a loaf of bread, something made in the electric pressure cooker or a general moan that YT has rendered another video out of sync. Sleep well Graham, it was an honour and privilege to know you, thanks for all the laughs and music - Kev"

In case you missed the original posting of Graham's passing: https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=860697#Post860697Graham and I had many conversations over the years. He was a true gentleman.
OK, a random thought; Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

I enjoyed my interactions with Graham. This community brings together many people with seemingly little in common musically.
Goodness, there are so many gone...

I've been here pretty much since the beginning of this forum. I've met a lot of nice people, and sadly, so many of them are no longer with us.
The tragedy of life is that it ends.

Very sad to hear of Furry's passing. We did some collaborations together some years ago - although we never met he seemed like a wonderful, affable and giving person. Rest in Peace Graham.
Cheers, Keith

Sorry that I'd also missed this Mario. I also admired him - especially when he played some of my music on his radio station  . Most importantly, he certainly was a great member of our community.

So sad to hear this, Furry was a big PG Music supporter and always a gentleman here on the forum. R.I.P. Graham you will be missed.
