"Here I go again" was among our favourite songs in my group of friends, here in the Basque Country. Lyrics are very encouraging.

He co wrote a lot of the big hits including "Fool for your lovin" and "ready and Willing"

It was kind of weird as we were on our way to play a gig (A rainbow Tribute) on the Friday when we heard the news he had died the day before. We were booked in at rehearsal rooms on the Sunday to have our first get together as "Ready and Willing" a Whitesnake tribute.

Just realized I have put the wrong date on his death in the title. It is was 24th not 28th August.
@fresh_42 could you please change to 24.8.23?
