Performing, activism, and endlessly helping others. He was loved as a street performer for his emotional openness and honesty, which was entirely genuine. You could be feeling down and he'd just knock the wind out of you with a smile that beamed love and optimism. He was the most frustrating but rewarding guitar pupil I ever had: Trying to teach him was always like trying to hit a moving target, but what he did with that knowledge was take to the streets and create special moments in people's lives. His last 18 months were the most painful and scary I have seen anyone endure, and the strength and kindness Jonny showed throughout were an inspiration to me, but in the end it was too much for him, and he took his own life. I desperately miss the support we gave to each other. I love you mate. I got the last line from this song tattooed on my left forearm. I wish I could show you. ________________ This track is from my album The Faintest Idea: Get it on vinyl, CD or Deluxe 3-disc Book Edition from https://jongomm.com/ Tab for my arrangement of this song is available now at https://jongomm.com/guitar-tabs - it's Pay What You Want, and all proceeds will go to https://swansongproject.co.uk/ ________________ Here's all the gear I used in creating this music.
