He and I have been chums for years. Once or twice a year I'll take him to Oxford to see Juan, Janet, and the kids. Most of the time Kenton and Susan leave Gloucestershire to rendezvous with all of us, and we have a reunion of sorts complete with wives and kids. Felix isn't married, but he has had a number of lady-friends over the years.
Thankfully Felix gets on with The Wife, and she finds his eccentricites just a factor in his personality. He also has a large family who have him over for Sunday lunch and try to ensure he takes care of himself on a much more regular basis than I could manage.
As an aside, I'm a pretty good guitarist - in my day, and when I was in proper practise I was....I could have been a contender. When we were eighteen or so Felix was tallest poppy by a country mile. None of us came close. You can't forget that sort of thing. Added to which he was one of my best friends. Buying him lunch, as I've said before, isn't any great hardship.
Will let you know as and when the project has finished. I think the idea has legs, as the phrase is.
