 	This is really sad. Like Mike, I'd only just gathered there was a 
bad reason behind his unusual absence from the list. I've seen Trev be the 
absolute lynch-pin of a band he'd only just been dropped into, playing 
brilliantly in two or three different styles in the course of a set on 
songs he barely knew, and there's no doubt he was a musician through and 
through. It's a real shame that like so many others he didn't have the 
chance to get on board one of the vehicles that might have taken him to 
greater recognition, but he was always excellent company in person even 
though he and I disagreed about quite a lot. And though he obviously loved 
being on a stage and grandstanding like a trouper, he was never arrogant 
in person or online, always careful to make sure a self-deprecating joke 
was included somewhere. It's just a crying shame. I shall continue to 
raise a glass for him here and there when I remember, and I don't expect I 
shall forget given how much there is in my music collection to remember 
him by. Yours all,
 		   Jon
