"Goodbye to you my trusted friend" a great opening line from a song which is so fitting for you Grant. You were my oldest friend and I know that, because I was too young to know when we met. You, my cousin Roger and myself had so much fun playing on Te Ahu street, down by the river, and of course, our JMB rugby days. Went to school together, and when we started college, we walk there and back virtually every day until we finished school. I even remember how thrilled we were when we got our drivers licenses. Though we didn't see each other often when I left Kaitaia, when we did catch up, it was if we saw each other the day before. I'm glad we caught up recently at my gigs, and it meant a lot to me to dedicate a song to you. Whenever I do that song again, it'll remind me of you my friend. Till we meet again, your friend Johnnie Jackson.
