It has left me, as I'm sure it has left many of you, shattered. As well as being the finest musician that I have ever heard, he was also amongst the most genuine and giving of friends and I loved him to pieces. In the mid 80's I was lucky enough to do a series of concerts with Isaac as a duo and they were, without doubt, the proudest moments of my musical life. It was the only time I ever remember being nervous on stage... Living up to my reputation is one thing - trying to live up to Isaac's was another... I wrote the song 'Hands From Heaven' as a surprise for Isaac and I used it one night to introduce him at a local folk club. It was the first time he had heard it and the only time I can ever remember him being totally speechless... Just after I heard he was ill, I posted the song on the web in my Songbook and he sent me an email, full of love, that I shall never forget. This recording was made at the Hong Kong Folk Festival in 1986 - after hearing it, they booked Isaac the following year... and of course he not only lived up to - but surpassed - all of their expectations.
