I am sooo sorry I couldn't be there for the funeral etc, I was just too distraught over Nicky's passing. I didn't want to believe it or admit it to myself that he was really gone. The world is really missing out on the greatest guitar player and teacher it ever had. I still to this day find it difficult to hear music we played. He was my whole world!! He saved my life!!! In so many ways through our music. I miss him terribly so.
