My wonderful friend, let's pray there will be a cure one day. For us old timers we didn't know how bad smoking was until the damage was done. No one on earth can know the pain you feel, but I come close. Eyes wide open, each day is a wonderful day. You see colors never seen. Passions never felt. Music in your mind and your heart. I would love your music even if you have to sign with your toes.

Each day is special, my friend.

Thanks Bear, to be honest I really appreciate your kind words, not easy to handle this ordeal but I´ll hang in there!

This made me cry mate, I lost so many family members to those damn things, my dad was dragging an oxygen bottle by the age of 49 years old and died a horrible death from emphysema when he was 55, my mothers life was cut short as well, not to mention the many years of reduced quality of life. This should be an anti-smoking commercial on TV friend and I will share it as much as I can. Take care of that voice, I believe it will get better with time. Our prayers are with you and family.

Hi there, I found your video featured at Tuks page, in the beginning I thought this will be a happy song, with the colourful video, but than it has totally changed, this is so sad, really not easy for a musician like you. I have often seen your collabs with Mark. You are all so creative and talented. I wish you all the best, respect to all of you. Steffen

You've been in my thoughts and prayers ever since Jimmymac gave me this news. I love that you sang in this... I have ALWAYS loved your singing, your playing, your creative mind. You (and Alice) have always done so much for me and for others on YouTube and I will be ever-grateful to you for all your help. your ideas, your creative suggestions, and mostly for your very caring and warm friendship.

Never think you could be forgotten; impossible.

Hugs and prayers... C

I play guitar, I sing (sort of) and I'm a smoker trying to quit. Thank you for posting this video. I'll be watching it a few more times over the next few weeks. My best wishes to you.
