That is sad. I was just thinking the other day that I must pull out my Energy Orchard albums and give them a spin.

Didn't realise that Bap and Brian Kennedy were brothers. Sorry to hear that Brian is also suffering from this hideous disease.

It just came on the Jungle Telegraph.  I presume Mr Cohen's dead and not just in Barrow, will be digging out and watching McCabe and Mrs Miller tonight, I love The Stranger Song and so many, many other songs.
