My friend Dave, you left on tiptoe, in silence, without I had time to say you goodbye. It hurt me and I could not believe it was true, I cried a lot but today I know. You were a great Man, simple and generous, an engineer enlightened and passionate about the marine environment, with a 100,000 volts energy, and a touch to everything. You loved the life you went through, the travels, the music, the human contacts. You made me discover the Blues and the magic of true British music, not that of big productions! You loved your job, to transmit, to discover new songs and talents, you loved that we love you and that we recognize you. I admired your immense knowledge of music and I remained stunned. You are for me a very great Bluesman, and your microphone is now orphaned. Your rhetoric, your creaky replies on the French (because you loved France a lot) and I miss our laughter already, I loved the little messages you wrote to me from time to time. I know I was very lucky to have met you. All, we loved your bright smile, your sparkling eyes, your immense kindness, your bohemian style with your shorts and espadrilles, you had a lot of class. So, I confirm you, we love you and we will always love you, and I will never forget you. Salut mon Ami, mille baisers !
