Am I to assume from this thread that Chris Knox has STILL not received his due recognition for services to NZ music? Scratch that, music in general?

Very Sad to hear the news especially given the prognosis,
here's to a quick and a reasonably full recovery.

Anyone remember Chris and the watermelon at Sweetwaters??? 
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.
