 After being away for a while, one of the unfortunate things I found out on my return was the passing of brother Jan.
A serious somber tune here befitting the loss of such a great comrade and friend. Being a lover of sad somber tunes, this one is brilliant in my book. Performances from the surviving members were from the heart. Was a genuine honor to be part of.

 Big thanks brothers Wookiee, Biodiode, James, Daryl, Reece and Steve. I was fearing I may have been a bit too subtle. Nagbap 2.0 Has been updated to include a time limit, it was strongly suggested I had a matter of hours, not days. Probably a good thing, I'd have hammed it up if I had time to think about it. ;)
 Steve, I think that last note is band in the box.

The subtlety is what makes the part Grant. Really top work mate.

Wow, Guys!
 
Fantastic job on this heartfelt tribute to a really great guy!
 
Well written and performed by all three of you, excellent vocals, a perfect mix, and I really loved Grant's tasty, laidback guitar work.
 
I'm sure Jan's smiling down and enjoying a listen like he always did here at the forum!  He was a nice guy with a stellar personality!
 
Super work, boys!
