For an all too short while in 2009 / 2010 we had the pleasure of the company of bass player John Hawkes in The Shed.
Hawkeye brought a bunch of enthusiasm and a smile with him. Whilst being a great bass player, Hawk was actually more interested in mixing and the technology we had started to amass.
But occasionally we could get him to play and sing.
He does just that on this rendition of his own “Love Is A Diamond”.
We miss his smile and decided to post this as a reminder of the good times we had.
