I have had the privilege of being with and playing with Nick in Scottsdale the last two summers. He may have slowed down physically ( who hasn't), but mentally he is so sharp. He'll jump into the middle of a song, or recall an anecdote, or have a conversation with you that, while the words may be spoken more slowly, the ideas are still right on. I agree with Bob - if the day comes, I want Mary Anne to put me in a boat and push me out to see from Hardings Beach in
Chatham on Cape Cod.
In the meantime - a most Meri Christmas to all who love the Haworths, their spirit and their music
