What a character
A bearded, dapper, hat wearing, pipe smoking piano player
He was the man!

Great memories from my teenage years. "Something in the air" would be one of my Desert Island Discs. Really sorry to learn of his passing.
RIP

I have the 45 with that on... must give it a spin.
Yes, the people who made the sounds of my youth are all going..I begin to understand friends from my parents generation who complained at length about "everyone leaving".....

But didn't they all have a ball.
The music industry doesn't breed characters like that now.

Yes they had a great time just didn't remember any of it.

It's all a bit watered down now and they only last 4 minutes the likes of Adele are all too rare.

We were so lucky to be growing up enjoying these good times and huge changes of culture, the music was just so good "The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah band" were excellent too.

Any one else remember the Temperance Seven and the New Vaudeville Band ?
These boys were living the dream.

I think they're all spaced out on something alright.

Yet another from "the era" gone.
But then at my age more and more are older and going.
Brings back memories of great times.

I watched a couple of progs on BBC over the last few days re Heavy Metal and its origins and growth. Yet more memories of the times.
