Devastated

I cannot describe how I felt at 2am today.  The young lady woke us up.  I made the mistake of checking Facebook from the spare room.  I noticed a clearly bogus posting.  I decided I would check the reliable BBC News site ... just in case.  It's true.  My musical hero (who has featured in several Blips) has died.  I have listened to Leonard since I was 4 or 5 years old - more than 4 decades.  My late uncle 'brainwashed' me to his genius.  He has been a constant through thick and thin.
