Comment:	Having stumbled across this article again after many years, I thought I ought to pass on a few quick updates from the article. Sadly, Richard Grinter passed away last year. I say sadly, I mean that it is for us. For Richard, he is in the presence of the Lord he loved, and again in the company of his teenage daughter who was sadly killed in a road accident some time ago (I believe she may well have been the Amaziah baby I had written about). Derek Elliott was taken seriously ill in a studio, whilst recording a new album produced by Jez Coad produced a year ago. However; I believe Derek was not prepared to give up and fought his way to recovery and to finishing that album. Social media saw the final five members making contact and able to catch up with each other. Phil flies the globe in Event Management; Alan promotes his two son’s band Port Erin, and is an amazing photographer. Dave is a highly regarded piano tuner (there isn’t a church in Bristol without a piano lovingly tuned by Dave). Kev is in the high end sales of music equipment…and I work for the NHS, and a church leader in our local Baptist Church (ironically the home of Amaziah’s very last gig – They do say it’s a small world…but I wouldn’t want to paint it). I mentioned in the article that my favourite song from the Straight Talker Album was ‘He is Lord, pass it on’. I marked a personal achievement this year, when this week (April 2019), my band The Mudheads, performed that song at a gig in Bristol. This Marked 40 years of me rocking the bones out of the song. It gave me a moment of reflection and realisation having promised the Lord if He allowed me to keep playing I would always do it for Him, even in a covers band playing the pubs and clubs of Bristol. He kept his promise. And in front of a lively venue audience I was able to proudly proclaim that I had Jesus running through my veins, that He is MY Lord, and that I will never stop passing it on. It really is true; God does keep his promises.
