It was also around the same time that Chass quietly shared with me the news that he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Chass was a phenomenal Musician, probably the finest I had ever played with, what he could get out of a piano astounded me, it was like listening to an orchestra in one man. Working around his chemo schedule, relationship and family commitments as best he could Chass never stopped and insisted on finishing this record. I dedicate this record to him, my friend and soul brother. Chass Guthrie RIP.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Drake","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67754550001968,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/2351\/2368\/files\/John-Drake_Separation-Songs-Cover_2000px_2000px.jpg?v=1789431930","url":"https:\/\/suitcaserecords.com.au\/products\/separation-songs","provider":"Suitcase Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
