I found it very moving when he said . . . " he was not quite prepared to hang up his coat just yet, but he knew where the peg was."

He looked very frail in his later videos and interviews, bless him. I think he was 81 when he died.

You are most welcome, Mupps ā€“ a great talent - and a man with
many faces and talents. A sad losee.

Iā€™ve lived my life according to such poetry ā€¦

ā€œBoogie Streetā€

O Crown of Light, O Darkened One,
I never thought weā€™d meet.
You kiss my lips, and then itā€™s done:
Iā€™m back on Boogie Street.

A sip of wine, a cigarette,
And then itā€™s time to go.
I tidied up the kitchenette;
I tuned the old banjo.
Iā€™m wanted at the traffic-jam.
Theyā€™re saving me a seat.
Iā€™m what I am, and what I am,
Is back on Boogie Street.

And O my love, I still recall
The pleasures that we knew;
The rivers and the waterfall,
Wherein I bathed with you.
Bewildered by your beauty there,
Iā€™d kneel to dry your feet.
By such instructions you prepare
A man for Boogie Street.

O Crown of Light, O Darkened Oneā€¦

So come, my friends, be not afraid.
We are so lightly here.
It is in love that we are made;
In love we disappear.
Thoā€™ all the maps of blood and flesh
Are posted on the door,
Thereā€™s no one who has told us yet
What Boogie Street is for.

O Crown of Light, O Darkened One,
I never thought weā€™d meet.
You kiss my lips, and then itā€™s done:
Iā€™m back on Boogie Street.

A sip of wine, a cigarette,
And then itā€™s time to go . . .
