Dear All - while I have a brief moment I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. A warm hug from me to you and all your loved ones (including man hugs for all those capable of taking them)
Joe, Mick, Galen, Allen, Jeff, Mike K and Mike M - thanks for all the great music, tours, and great moments together and I hope you all have a great holidays. Hope to catch up with you all in 2013
To all of you sending me extra support this year, thank you loads. It really means a lot
To lose Dad last week is just unbearable. It might have been more manageable if we were expecting it, but I had less than 24 hours with him, most of which is tormenting me as he was very very ill and I nursed him through the night at hospital
I'm exhausted, and somewhat bewildered and confused by everything. I have no doubt I'll end up pouring stuff out on here, for which I apologise, for many of you have been through this and don't need reminding. That being said, I have a request....
Please (for those of you that don't mind) raise a glass (of whatever) to my Dad on Christmas day at some point. He loved life, loved music, and really really loved Satch. I did my best to get him and mum time with Joe at every UK tour, and aside from the sheer talent of music and guitar playing, Dad was always blown away by the kindness and compassion of Joe and Mick
"To Peter, a fellow Satch Fan" (and an amazing father)
Cheers
Dad Mick (& Joe)
