Shock.

Yesterday we had our monthly Sunday morning session.
My larger than life, irrepressible, close mate and fellow band member Christy was in great form. Instead of sharing a taxi with me as usual at the end of the gig he decided to stay for another pint 'cos he was enjoying the craic.

Two hours later I got a phone call to tell me that Christy had died of a massive heart attack as he rested in bed at home.
Everything has changed and the world is a poorer place.
I'm numb.
