Today at work my brother showed me an old piano. I haven’t played since secondary school. 20 + years ago.
So I played lean on me and sang the intro. It just came into my head.
A few hours later I saw on the news that Bill Withers had passed.
Make of it what you will. |

You literally murdered it, evidently.
RIP Bill. Great singer/songwriter |

That's one of my favourite jokes too.
Now I'll feel slightly sad whenever I tell it. |
