Yet another eulogy.

[McKINNON Dougal]

I was on holiday when I heard the news of JP's death so this has been my
first chance to respond.  What can I say that others haven't already
said?  Probably nothing.  My record collection is full to the brim of
stuff I wouldn't have heard other than for John. Listening to his shows
used to dominate my spare time - re-arranging dates, visits to the pub,
etc so that I could hear a specific band in session, doing copies of the
show for other people and so on.  I can't believe I will never do that
again.
 
I only ever met him once and I was so awestruck I just gawped at him and
asked him to sign me an autograph, but he did actually read my name out
live on air when I e-mailed him and asked for a specific track.
Amazingly, he did play the track I asked for, and at the right speed.
 
 Obviously my sadness as a listener is nothing compared with that felt
by his family and friends, but it still hurts.
 
Thanks for everything John.
