Winding him up at a Kate Bush Convention. In Dublin with Nadie and Julia. In London in a department store. He made me laugh all the time so non really stick out. His kindness and company. In an hotel after a gig where we spent many hours with him. The previously mentioned department store in London. Dublin and Putney, love winding him up and he always took it well as well as giving it back. Again the department store and having a T-Shirt made about stalking him since 1979, he loved that. Oh wow where do I begin, I suppose he taught me how to be more humble.
